KJW M9 mag issues

[Genitalthunderstorm]

Hello, I have a KJW m9 elite that is having mag issues. Specifically I bought 2 WE 52 round extended mags for it and they both wont fire with the KJW. The mag seats into the magwell just fine and when I pull the trigger a very quiet poof is heard. When I push the mag up it will fire and cycle properly. It seems like the mag is just a tiny bit too low for the striker to hit the valve.

Now before I get yelled at I did my research and have read that supposedly the WE mag and kjw m9 are compatible. From what I am seeing it should work but need to have the magazine sit slightly higher in the pistol.

Comparing the KJW and WE mags I noticed the KJW one has a bit less play and the valve has a larger striker face. When I swapped the kjw valve into the WE mag I got successful cycling about 70% of the time. An improvement but not enough. Any suggestions?

Also does anyone know a GBB whisperer near Vancouver? The m9 has been giving me issues from the moment I unboxed it and maybe some professional TLC is what it needs.

Thanks in advance

Have you dropped the gun in sand or exposed it to any dirt from the get go?

I would suggest you buy KJW mags instead.
