Thanks very much. Very informative to hear from two different perspectives on the slide internals. As for the seals on the mags, they are kept in good shape. I never vent my gas and always leave a little bit in the mag when they are in storage. I fire a few rounds from them regularly to keep them in good working order and I drop some silicon oil in them after 10 or so fill ups. I'm try switching out the recoil spring to the stock one first and tell you all how it improves. I switched out the slide on my 1911 for the slide on my detonics (looks awesome by the way) and fired a few rounds and I was getting amazing consumption. I could empty a magazine in a few seconds with very little cool down and still had enough gas after 20 rounds to lock back the slide. So I don't know if the hammer spring is making that much of a difference that I want to switch it just yet.
