I just purchased a colt Series 80- Govt Model MK IV in 380. It came with the original and an aftermarket clip, and two boxes of ammo. Magtech is crap and I expected it. but I also tried two other boxes of jacketed ammo, one was UMC and other is Remington. Can't get though a full mag without a failure to eject. The spent round is pulled about 1/2 way out, and the slide jams on the next round in the mag. (Note: I have not had a stovepipe or FTF)
I don't know if the springs are original or not. the gun is in good shape but obviously carried a bit. Should I put a fresh, original spring kit in it? Increased power, reduced power? I have thoughly cleaned it and applied a small amount of lubriplate to the slide. But it doesn't help.
Can anyone tell me the probable cause.
