    Some months ago I bought a Bear Arsenal 9mm conversion barrel for my Glock 22. I tried it with the stock 40 cal mag but had a lot of troubles feeding/extracting. Some time later I bought a couple generic mags for 9mm. They helped but still feeding/extracting issues. Saturday I bought a factory Glock mag at the 1500. Today I took it to the range for a quick test. First mag full was flawless. Second mag had several FTF and 1 FTE.
    I’m guessing that maybe the recoil spring is too strong for 9mm. This is just a guess though. The FTE is what made me think this. I was shooting some 124gr Freedom Munitions reloads. No idea on these loads. They may be really weak.
    I guess it could be poor finish/accuracy on this aftermarket barrel as well.
    Suggestions?


    Thanks, Matt
    I thought I’d look through my 9mm stash and test some real factory ammo.
