Was told by a local techie that maple leaf made hop units for the 226... can't find one anywhere but I did manage to get the jammed take-down lever sorted (kinda). So it is usable at the moment but not completely finished with the upgrades to that section.
Followed this advice after my nozzle nub broke (repaired by a shop techie), has given me almost no issues since. Have had issue with it not loading a BB then loading two but I've found that was Mag related (a little silicon oil sprayed into the follower and spring seem to have sorted that out on two of the three mags but that third mag is being a bugger).
