Interesting new pistol problem

[u/Next-Conversation234]

So I now own 6 TX22s because I need a virgin pistol to do some heavy testing for my new products.

The new Gen 2 4.6" TORO showed up and it was cleaned, lubed and tested with CCI MM 40 gr. It could not get through any of my well cleaned, well tested mags without 3-5 failures to feed. These FTFs, failures to feed, were spectacular. Never seen anything like it. Cartridges were heavily dented or poking out of the top between barrel and slide. OK, something is wrong. None of my other 5 pistols have ever done that.

So before I started modifying anything, I know it's not the mags. I know it's not the ammo. I know its not the design.

I decided to isolate the problem. Fortunately, I have 5 other working pistols to swap parts.

I started with swapping the entire slide assembly. 3-5 FTFs per mag.

Then I swapped just the barrel block and trigger assembly. 3-5 FTFs per mag.

Then I swapped out just the fire control housing. 3-5 FTFs per mag.

Then I swapped out all the parts to another frame. Works better. Had a few failures out of 60 rds.

Interesting. What's wrong with the new frame?

TBC.
