Recoil Springs
Note to self - don't change the recoil spring on the only pistol you use for the weekly competition. This spring is critical in the operation of a semi-automatic pistol - it's purpose is to return the slide to battery after a shot, and take up some of the recoil. They wear out after a few thousand rounds and mine was so badly worn it was shorter than a new one by an inch.
I did, as my old recoil spring was old, and sure enough I had feed problems which threw off my shooting most of the night. Luckily I can throw out several bad nights, so my score isn't too horrible, and the 100 or so rounds I did shoot seems to have loosened things up for next week.
Lesson learned...
