. My PM9 has over 40,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

I would never cause a thread to stray... or butt into anyone else's "conversation"!
Oh, the horrors! Sometimes it keeps the thread going and is natural conversation.
I was being the "indignant pot" calling the kettle black... or vice versa... whatever.LOL!
Anyhow... I hope the info benefits someone thinking about keeping a spare parts inventory.

JFootin,
I'm sorry to hear about the problems with your hands. I am happy that you are still an armed good guy!

Dang! Having big problems with my main PC... 10 to 20 seconds or more "lag" whenever I try to move my mouse or click it or press keys! It's getting worse!
I got my parts and have put the P380 and the PM9 back together. I put 5-lb striker springs from Wolff in both of them and that gives me something else to test when I get to the range. I've tested both guns as much as I can without actually firing them. The trigger pull seems a lot lighter!
I replaced a follower in a K9 7-round mag that I had tried "converting" to .40 for my P40 and then had to doctor the feed lips a bit with pliers. I minutely bent the right forward feed lip inward and then the left minutely to the left. I fine-sanded both feed lips and tested for function. Now it feeds flawlessly with rapid racking of FMJ ammo. When I first tried the new follower, the first round would stick on the right side of the feed ramp. Slide release or hard racks wouldn't budge it. I needed to move the nose of the bullet a little to the left. I think that I'll have to do some more mags like that. I had tried to "open" those K9 mags up a tad to use as .40 mags with extended-grip bases. That's something else to test.
Four sets of 7-round racking sessions left a few of the "factory reloads" with obvious setbacks, so I measured those, marked them with a red Sharpie and set them aside for expenditure at the range, when I can pay attention to what I'm shooting!
Un-chambered rounds ran 1.096" to 1.100" overall length, but a few of the chambered ones were 1.076/1.077" and one was 1.056". I'm more leery of the last three mentioned. There's something else to test!

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
