Got the gun back a week or two ago, just took it to the range. Guess what? Stovepipes, jams, etc.

Springfield JUST had this in the factory and replaced the barrel bushing and swapped my full length guide rod for a different recoil setup....

Ammo used today was Lawman .45 230gr and I had three shooters try the weapon to ensure I wasn't "limp-wristing" it.

REALLY upset with Springfield at this point.... :banghead: :grumble
I am not a fan of Lawman 230 gr ammo as it seemed to run very dirty when I last used it.
Did SA mention what ammo they used to test your pistol? Try running with that or pick up some Walmat Whitebox JHP.

Ejection problems can come from a number of sources. Your extractor may need some tuning, or maybe a different recoil spring will help.
