for most of the magazine, the rounds in the beginning shoot normal at around 300fps. (Its also funny cause when I got it chrono'd I didn't notice any harder kick and the stock magazine shot higher fps than the magazine with the hi flow. The higher kick feels unnatural, almost as if the slide is about to fly off.
I'm not sure if the hammer spring is upgraded or not but it looks like it is (having nothing to compare it to so can't be certain) This was prebuilt by the ehobbyasia:

It says "Custom upgrade Magazine Valve & Power Recoil Spring" so it might only be an upped recoil spring.
I think a chrome mirror finish also requires wet sanding and buffering so maybe if I were to skip those... I want more of a opaque metal finish like in this:

While still shiny, its not reflective/chrome which I think looks cheap and toylike. I want the shiny reflective outerbarrel stand to stand out over the slide. I plan on putting springfield woodgrips on and also painting in the serrations,top&bottom of slide,trademarks, and some other parts in either grey pictured in the previous picture or black:

maybe we should switch to pm's so we don't end up cluttering up this thread.
thanks for all your help
