    You put a straight upper on a gay lower you either need to change the color on the lower or use more lube…

    I think the trigger disconnect needs to be adjusted. All these comments aren’t going to fix out of battery. Possibly the trigger bar that need a little smoothing.

      so the trigger bar could be snagging on the slide?

        It may… There’s definitely videos you can watch to figure out what’s catching. I’ll look and add it here in a minute.

            It gotta be something simple… Possibly even your take down spring is too tight… Like pushing up too much

          you see how it gets stuck when going in motion to chamber? could my slide lock spring be messed up?

            It could need to be a little less spring.

        I’ve had a ghost connector that never worked. But the more I think about it, it’s more likely your take down spring is pushing up too much pressure. Probably adjusted it. If that doesn’t work I’ll send you a picture…

    Had a similar issue myself. I sanded the fuck out the top of the frame where the slide touches then filed the rear rails a lot and then racked it like a thousand times and then more sanding and filing now it cycles rounds to break it more in
