Out of 10 shots, there'd be about 1-4 that are weak. You can feel and hear the difference as normally the shot goes "boom" when its a good shoot, but these ones give a wussy "poof". Sometimes it even seems to fire in patterns (eg. Clean hard shot, soft shot, clean hard shot, soft shot). Is this a mag high flow valve installation problem or a hammer/trigger problem? Maybe an air seal problem? When I install the 150% hammer spring my shots get weird more frequently than with the normal hammer spring.
There are a lot of issues that can cause this... such as:
  • The height of the flow valve strike face being too high
  • Valve Knocker being too long
  • Hammer spring too strong
  • Too much grease on the valve knocker
  • Poor seal at piston head/nozzle/mag/cylinder bulb/hop up rubber
  • Cylinder bulb spring too strong
  • Barrel chamber locking against slide (chronograph can confirm this with consistent velocity at weak "feeling" shot)

The list can go on. I'd see if I could've helped you diagnose and fix it the other day, but you know why I couldn't.
