It looks like the cartridge is lined up to the chamber very closely but I noticed that the mag flops around in the grip.

Did some work and made the mag snug. Maybe it's work this time.  8)







The ramp does look steep though.
How powerful is 10mm? Well, see those craters on the moon?

One other wonky thing I just remembered.  I have to keep my witness mags topped off.  If I store one not loaded, it will FTF at the range.  The ones I keep loaded 24/7 always run 100%.  Could just be mine, but I have five or six of them.  Mine are the older red-follower models that the internet says are terrible.

The tape trick worked. It made the mag straight and snug and I didn't have FTFs with the Fenix 10mm 180 FXPs and Win 40sw 180 PPs. Also with some Federal 40sw 180 Aluminums.

I only have one unusual problem. Sometimes the rounds didn't chamber all the way to battery. It seems that the stock recoil spring is too weak. The rounds can be half way in the chamber and it needed a nudge to go in battery.

The 20# spring I got from Wolff could solve that problem easily but it's a bit stiff for me to rack. There's not much slide to grip due to the design. I'll just order the spring that's the next step up from stock.

ETA: just ordered a 16# recoil spring. a 2# bump up from stock.

I'm still having FTFs so I contacted EAA and found out I have to pay shipping both ways for them to look at it.

What a joke. I'm sorry I bought this POS.
