Apparently your gun was having cycling problems. They took a broad approach by making sure the ejector and extractor were up to snuff so that shell ejection would be appropriate, then they made sure that chambering new rounds was optimal by addressing the feed ramp and by making sure the barrel's chamber was appropriately sized.

The fact that they tried to cover all the bases without identifying one exact problem is concerning. One has to wonder if that's because of a bad design of the weapon, or if it's part of their value-added custom shop operations. If I buy a gun, I buy one that doesn't need to have the ejector, extractor, chamber and feed ramps fixed after the sale in order for it to function correctly. Not exactly confidence-inspiring. I'd be wondering what the problem with the gun actually was.
Well hopefully everything will be all good now thanks for the explanation. It's not that the round wasn't ejecting correctly. I had probably 3 FTEs out of 800 rounds of FMJ. My issue was that my slide was getting stuck and i couldn't rack it. My problems came about only on the day i tried JHP...I already knew from the forums that the springfield 9mms don't like JHP but decided to try anyway lol
