If you think the springs are binding on the guide rod do this: Take some automobile chassis grease and lube the springs with it. Get the grease in between the 2 springs and on the guide rod. It makes a world of difference on friction of the springs rubbing on each other in those small guns. It works on 9mm and 380s. I uses ir on my CM9 and never had any problems with fail to load or fail to eject. Doesn't hurt to put a light coating on the guide rails either.
