So the gun only fires when I push up on the mag, I have a few other high capas so I can swap out parts if needed. Any ideas guys?

My bets are that your magazine catch is worn, or the cut out on your magazine is worn. Possibly a combination of both. Is it possible for you to get photos of both things?

I do have 6 mags, half of them are near brand new and all of them work just fine on my other high capas so I dont think its that, and I already tried swapping out the nozzle and still get the same issue. Either way I shall get some photos up tomorrow. I'm about as sharp as a baseball. That's why I used stupid text speak. for the reply!

I'd check your mag release then. It may be worn too much.

So its definately a problem with the lower receiver, swapped it out with another gun and it fires just fine. I will try replacing the mag catch but when I push up on the mag it moves about 1 millimeter, not really that much of a difference but we will see.

Okay that is really weird, swapped out the catch from the bad gun with a good gun and now BOTH of the guns work. Clearly some sort of sorcery is at work here.

Actually that sounds like a combination of a worn magazine catch and different tolerance stack up between the two guns. The worn magazine catch, placed in the other pistol, evidently has a slightly different stack-up and thus is now functional.

Worn magazine catch really does have an effect on gas efficiency. When the stock magazine catch worn down on my we glock 17, the performance decreased by a huge factor. With the new magazine catch, it went back up to usual. Basically the reason why the worn down one sucks is because the gasket on top of the magazine does not have full contact with the window on the nozzle and there is a gap for gas to escape.
