No.... I didn't change anything except the mag.

At the time, I was still using an unmodified valve knocker, which as you know, sticks a bit in to the mag wells and requires you to rack the slide before inserting a mag, otherwise it'll get blocked.

Problem is, I have some of my mags tuned with high flow valves that allow you to customize the height of the strike face. Some of them I have tuned so close to the edge, that it just did not work in this gun. When I tested it that day, it was with one of those mags and I did not think to try a different mag - I just assumed the valve knocker was too long.

Out of the 5 mags I have, 3 of them work fine, so the choice is to either re-tune the valve heights, or just take down the valve knocker length, which is the better of the two options.

Yep, blows back very hard and crisp through almost the entire mag.
