my first guess is you might need to clean your mags.

Jamming problem
I have a Kimber Gold Match converted to 10mm. It works well 95% of the time. However every other mag or so it feed jams towards the end of the magazine, typically with 1 to 3 rounds left. I am not sure what the proper name for this type of jam is. The nose of the cartridge is at the entrance of the chamber and the slide has closed on the body of the case with the case head under the slide. I have a 24# recoil spring in the pistol. What I think may be happening is that the action is cycling too quick and the magazine spring is not pushing the next cartridge up fast enough for the breechface to grab it. I do not think the pistol is short cycling as it has never failed to lock back on an empty mag. I am going to try some extra power mag springs but was curious as to whether there were other thoughts. Thanks.

Sounds like you are on the right track with the mag springs, you might consider a little lighter recoil spring, my Colt Delta Elite works great with everything from 20# to 23#.
If you have some kind of shock buffer installed take it out and give the gun a try.

Ken is right on here... I think getting some mag springs in that puppy will help a lot.Originally posted by Ken Neal:

IIRC, the Delta came with a dual spring arrangement rated at 23lb. Unless you are shooting some stiff 10mm, you might consider going to a Wolff 20 or 22. You can buy them direct from Wolff... http://www.gunsprings.com
Enjoy!
