Pick it up today & I must say first impressions are I'm very pleased with the build quality & it looks much better in real life.
Hopefully get to shoot it on tuesday evening.

JMOHO...
I would strip the mag and using fine emery dress the inside, especially where the detent is as it looks just about there is where you have your problem.

Hi my k22 whisper came with 2 lots of springs. 1 black set of 2 on the pistol and 1 steel colour set of 2 in a bag. IF you want to use sub sonic ammo in the pistol do need to change them over as at the moment it will not cycle subs. Thanks Paul.
Nice
Yours should be a bit more ammo tolerant than mine as you've gone for the lightweight slide. Bang a micro red dot on there too and you're in buisness You know you want to......

Only mount that's readily available that isn't airsoft is the F.A.B. Usm rail (being F.A.B., it's cheap but heavier than it needs to be), which isn't a good fit. You'll have to either file the rails on the inside of the mount (the route I went), or whack the mount onto the frame rail which will reform the rail on the pistol.
This is due to the K22 rail being slightly out of spec and slightly larger than picatinny size.
Once mounted you can still use irons and the balance isn't too bad either. Plus it looks pretty sweet.
Get yourself some 13 or 19 round mags mate, better than the 10 rounders. They are getting hard to find unfortunately.
I'm experimenting with some stainless steel scouring pad (not brillo type but the coarser stuff that looks to be made up of flat twisted ribbon), packed into the moderator expansion chamber. As the actual bore itself won't come into contact with the packing there is no risk of bullet strike, and such material is commonly used in the U.S.. I'll post back once I've tested it out, as I'm hoping it could help moderator effectiveness by further slowing down the expanding gasses. As you probably know the whisper moderator doesn't have any baffles, so I'm theorizing that the packing will hopefully act in a similar manner to baffles. If it doesn't, it wouldn't cause any damage anyway and I'll just remove it if uneffective.

Crickey, they really did change it!
In effect I suppose yours works almost like a reflex mod in a way with gas tapped off near the muzzle then forced rearwards into the moderator body. I think yours is a better design than mine. On mine, the liner/sleeve covers the holes in the flutes, then the gases are forced down the flutes and forwards into the expansion chamber. Yours is simpler, I'll bet it's more ammo tolerant too.
I'm wondering where I would stand legally with omitting my sleve/spring/liner and making up a mesh/wire core. I would keep the spring at the slide end to form an expansion chamber, then have a core comprised of fine stainless mesh, stainless wire filling, then stainless mesh outer. It would be one piece and easy to fit/remove, but don't know if I'm allowed to do it or not.
Both the Russian PB Makarov and Sterling SMG used mesh in their suppressor designs.
Many thanks for the pic, opened my eyes a little!
