Solved: KSC G17 miss feed, slide issue, lost mag pin, and other issues.

Hey guys,

I recently started practicing my pistol skills and ran into a lot of issue. I mean A LOT!

First some back ground:

I'm running a KSC Glock 17 with metal slide. The gun work very well and only upgrade on it is return spring and spring guide.

Here's what's happening:
I'm 3 RA-Tech KSC CO2 magazines. Whenever I have the mag in and fire, the slide sometimes doesn't seem to return to it's proper position. Always seems like there is 2-3mm I can push forward with my thumb. I figure it was the return spring wearing out so I got a new set. Issue still happening but not as often.

New issue a raised with the new return spring. The mag miss feed now. My guess is the return spring is so fast that the BB doesn't have the time to get to the feeding lips. So ever so often I'll be doing something like:

Fire
Fire
Pop
Fire
Pop
Fire
Pop
Fire
Pop
Pop(Slide lock)

Out of frustrations I drop my mag and the pin the holds the feeding lips fell out and now I can't find it. Anyone know where I could find a replacement?

Anyone have any experience with CO2 mags? I can't seem to turn the 'key' fast enough to get the CO2 cartage in quick enough without half of it spilling out in the process. Any tips on how I could get the darn thing in quicker?

One of my 3 is also having some issue with pushing the BB up to the feeding lips. Not sure if I have to lube the metal thing that separate the spring to the BB or maybe file it down a bit because it doesn't seem like it's moving smoothly. After shooting about half the mag it'll get stuck then I'll be firing blanks but the slide doesn't lock back because it still thinks it's feeding BBs.

One last thing. I build myself a target stand. It's a cardboard shoe box with the center cut out and a piece of paper tap in front of it. I have a old T-shirt inside(Hanging from the top of box). After an hour of shooting, the old t-shirt is deformed and have holes(Pistol isn't even shooting hot!). My question is, what other material I could use that's more durable but won't make as much noise as a piece of sheet metal?


Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!
