    is it being limp wristed, is that why it stovepipes? purty neat.

    I don't think it could be, since it's in a fixture. I'm also wondering if the results might possibly be a bit different if it was in someone's hands instead of a fixture. I once had a gen 2 or gen 3 (don't remember which) Glock 22 and couldn't group with it at all. I now have exactly zero Glocks, but I have used other peoples' Glocks and haven't seen any better groups with theirs. The couple that I have tried were newer gen 4's, and they didn't stovepipe on a regular basis.

    Now the big question. How do you fix it?

    Depends how u set up the ransom test. Its pretty common to have limp-wrist malfunctions depending on how things are set up. It did kindve look like the ejector wasn't making any contact with the base of the brass though.

    People wonder why I don't like polymer frame handguns. I'm sure that my 1911 warps and moves when fired but it can't be as much as that

    It's not a bad thing. The material by nature is elastic, so it's unavoidable. The polymer actually can tolerate that a little better than steel.
