Issue with hollow points nosediving into barrel. Fmj work just fine no issues. Not sure why this is happening. Also I do have plus one taran tactical basepads. Gun is stock everywhere else.
It’s was Hornsby critical duty
Try different ammo before you start disassembling shit trying to figure out what's wrong.
Glock is sending me a brand new recoil spring also because I mentioned to them on the takedown process the recoil spring falls out
On takedown the spring becomes extremely loose even falling out every 1 of 3 times.
That's wrong.
I have my Glock 43 in front of me as I type this. I just broke it down. Mag out, clear the chamber, check the chamber twice, pull the trigger, pull the slide back a smidge, pull the slide lock down and the slide comes off. Looking at the assembled slide right now.
The recoil spring is actually two springs and the assembly is under a little bit of tension when it's in place. The barrel lug that it snaps into has two places that it could lodge against, an upper square one and a lower semi-circular one. The spring assembly goes into the lower semi-circular one. If by any chance you're not pushing it down into that lower location, that could give you the problem you're describing.

I have two 43's, and the recoil spring et al, "doesn't" fall out "unless" it's resting on the wrong ledge. Are you sure it's laying on the correct ledge?
When you take down your 43 is the spring loose or out of place mine legit falls out or is severely loose every time
Spring is not loose, at all. I have to push the end that's against the lug, (the other end is "buried" in the front end of the slide), with my thumb to compress it to take it out.

What is throwing me off is that it works with Fmj nonissue then when I load hollow it does the nose dive
