I'm also playing with a hydraulic guide rod -- still messing with it.

Ummm, so not a factory setup?
Was this before or after you had issues?

After. I don't suspect the guide rod or recoil spring with having much to do with the failure-to-extract. I put the blame there firmly on the extractor tension....combined possibly with specific magazines being out of spec w/the legion 229

...and I probably should mention I don't have any 229 mags - only 226 mags.

So you acquired a "new-to-me 229 Legion", with no P229 magazines?

Yes. Standard capacity magazines can't be transferred in CA, unless you're LEO. I am not. I am however old enough to have a lot of pre-ban (again, a CA thing) 226 mags. The reason I bought the 229 without mags is a) I don't care about carrying it with flush mags and b) I plan to use whichever of the 226 mags I already own that run consistently in the 229.

If the 9th Circus Court En Banc Review ever releases their decision in the Mag Ban case, maybe I can then order up some 229 flush fit 17's...

Oh - I didn't miss out on Freedom Week, just ask my UPS driver. Great legs. I just wasn't planning on a 229 Legion back then.
