P89 Recoil guide.

I am beginning to suspect that Gargamel's recoil spring is not copacetic. Sometimes, when I cycle the action slowly (by hand), the guide rod does not retract into the slide completely. Not good. The cartridge might not seat properly and it could fire out-of-battery. KaBOOM! Definitely NOT GOOD. When I let the action cycle normally, it's fine.
Bad Spring! Bad Bad Spring! You can be replaced!
I might as well replace the mainspring with a Wolff's 19lb while I'm at it. We shall see.
