Woohoo! Looks like my Ultra Carry problems may be cured!

And no, before anyone asks, I didn't trade it for a Glock, SIG, Springfield, etc....
I had been having major troubles with my new Ultra Carry not going into battery. It was happening without fail at least once in every single magazine. I followed the recommended break in procedures, tried (2) different mags (KimPro and Wilson Combat). Finally took it to my gunsmith who polished the feed ramp and slightly polished and throated the chamber as well as installed a $8 Wolff 21# recoil spring. Alas, success!
I went to the range and shot 200 rounds without a hiccup. I shot cheapo Blazer Brass, Double Tap 185, 200 & 230 grain Gold Dots, and Hornady TAP 200 and 230 grain ammo through it and it ate everything even with the factory mag that came with the gun.
Another 200-300 rounds like that and I'll feel 100% confident in the gun. Until then I'll continue to EDC my Glock 29 and my P3AT.
