Typically on a 45 that is where it should be starting to ramp up into the barrel.

I would then find out where it is binding and clean it up a little.
email kieth at dan wesson or call them for a replacement.

Springs wear from being cycled during use, not from compression from being loaded. Is this the only type ammo cauisng the failure? Are you using a shock buff? I'm with Aaron, sounds like the slide is moving too slow...how old and what weight is the recoil spring? That's where I'd look first...once your slide stop releases the slide, it's job is done unless it's binding
ETA: just saw you rpleaced the slide stop...unless you're lucky they seldom just drop in and need fitting...I'd check for binding like Aaron said, and check the recoil spring, as it can also cause a slow moving slide

This is the only ammo that I have encountered failing thus far Definitely not using a Shok Buff The spring is as old as the pistol, 1 year and 800 rounds or so. And I can agree, but I wouldnt know how to check for binding and such note: while I agree that I should have never swapped the slide release, It has been in this pistol for pretty much all of the rounds shot through it, so being that the problem just started now, i'm still not completely convinced. I really hope that DW will send another though Last edited by masakari; 07-23-2013 at 05:56 PM. |

Wilson mags tend to "launch" the round into the chamber, not relying on the feedramp so much....the only two things I can suggest are
Try a new recoil spring just to try it Use a Sharpie on the edge of your slide stop to see if something rubs it off. If all else fails (and it may).....PM Dave Waits

Color it up with a Sharpie, release the slide a few times and see where the ink rubs off. If it does, that will give you an idea where to start looking. I'd buy a spare recoil spring and try it anyway..always a good thing to have on hand regardless

dissasemble the pistol and post up pics of the frame, frame rails, barrel link hinge pin, slide release holes, slide rails and slide release lever. Top bottom and sides of all the things listed.
Is this a full stainless gun? at 800 rounds i would be surprised if you have a week spring. Many of my DW have over 5k with no problems on the recoil spring. What specifically are you using for lube? Where are you using it? How much are you using?
