2011 grip

I am looking for a new grip safety because my thumb is slowing the slide down. I can’t decide between a lowered safety or a high shielded safety. What words of wisdom do you all have for me.

Also while scrolling through all the various options I noticed on 2As website they show a demo gun as one with custom molded palm swells on the grip module. How would one do this? I don’t see any info online about it and it seems like a good idea. Why don’t more shooters do this considering every bullseye gun you’ll see has molded grips.

Major cycling issues

The gun worked when I bought it but was very unreliable. I got around 500 rounds through it and now it refuses to work. I am really struggling to pinpoint the issue.

I suspect it could be a buffer weight problem, gas block alignment problem, or an issue with the bcg or upper receiver tolerances.

.300 BLK, 16 in barrel, pistol length gas system, non adjustable low profile gas block pinned and staked.
PSA barrel
I assume gas block is PSA
PSA BCG
PSA 3oz (weighed and weight is correct) buffer and spring
Shooting HSL 150 grain which chronos at ~1250 at the target. Ballistic calculator says that should be around 1500 fps at the muzzle. Ammo is consistent.

Sometimes doesn’t lock back on an empty magazine.

I’ve tried 3 different brand magazines. NY legal comp mag(never worked since I bought the gun) 300 blk specific pmags and mdt 10 round mags.

Will chamber the first round and fire.
Bcg will ride up over the next round and slam it sideways into the feed ramps/lugs/bolt.

WHAT IS THE ISSUE HERE???

I don’t think it’s gassed enough but the gun should be overgassed.

Is the bolt unlocking too early?

Is the buffer spring too strong?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
