I think the problem is in the NY2 Trigger Spring itself, not the gun or ammunition.

By design, it puts additional pressure on the Trigger with Trigger Bar's Cruciform. For those who don't know, it's the Cruciform's tail end that actuates the Striker to fire the pistol.

That additional pressure can be enough to slow slide velocity with a slightly underpowered round, improper lubrication, or even the shooter himself riding the slide. Slowed slide velocity during firing creates malfunctions.

If ANYONE is to blame, it's NYPD and their lawyers for requiring the HEAVY trigger pull. Glock simply accommodates NYPD's wishes by giving the customer the heavier spring. Glock's original trigger spring works just fine in the majority of their guns, and the old saying applies: "If it's not broke, don't fix it."
