10mm TRP jamming issues

It might help if you could be more specific in the type of jam you are having, FTE, FTF.... How long have you had the TRP? How many rounds do you think you have put through? Are you sure it's not one or two particular magazines that this is happening with? There are a lot of variables involved and without more specfic info it's difficult to point to an exact cause from what you have posted.

Like Tenbones implied, we need more info....
I can only say, try to isolate variables to troubleshoot the problem....
Make sure things are the same between trouble free shooting and jams when shooting...
Like mark you magazines, and note which are used while you have jams and which never have jams, if it only jams with one magazine, what does that tell you?
Use the same ammo in all the magazines, then use other ammo exclusively, if it only jams with one ammo, look up the specs on the ammo and see how that one ammo is different...
Even environment, I have no problem with my home made pistol at room temps, but liberally oiled in cold weather, it jams.....
And exactly what is happening when it jams, that is huge to figuring out the problem.... ....even the pattern of how the rounds eject can make a difference....

It will jam after extraction a spent round and trying to feed another one. I can tap the back plate or eject the mag and the round will feed into the chamber. It will happen using Wilson Combat mags or the standard Springfield ones. I bought it new in 2018 and it has a little over 500 rounds through it. I’m thinking it might be the extractor pin. I broke it down and a round will not tightly stay in place when trying to seat it in the extractor pin.

From what you have said, I don't think it is an extractor issue since it seems to be kicking the spent casing free from the gun, but just doesn't completely cycle the next round. There can be a several reasons for this; limp wristing, poor ammo, problem with the recoil spring, inadvertently hitting the slide with either your support hand or your strong hand thumb when firing, feed ramp issues, bad magazine, dirty bolt face.

Anyway you could send me the link to that video?

This may sound 2nd grade unscientific, but you never know :
Take it apart as in field strip level, but also include removing firing pin and extractor (no need to break down the frame/lower). Give it a good cleaning and the basic re-lube. Then try her again; same ammo & mags.
I’m wondering if she just got ‘finicky’ . I know there are some other firearm designs that are/were terrific in one caliber, not so hot when configured in another…

Actually, an extractor can cause feed problems, if extractor tension is too high, but extractors aren't likely to increase in tension with use and age, so if it feed fine for years, its extremely unlike your extractor up and got more tension causing the feed problem now.
When it jams, is it because the round is only half in the chamber, nose up and butt down? Basically the round is not tilting in line with the chamber and instead stalls the slide out cocked in the mouth of the chamber? OR, is the round aligned in the chamber and the slide simply stops before going into battery?
As well, since its winter, is it colder temps with your jams then when it doesn't jam?

Definitely nose up tail down. It was in the low 50’s here today so not really cold

And if anything the extractor feels too loose. The round will not sit in place if sitting in the extractor while the gun is broke down. I can shake the slide and the round will drop

I believe I’m gonna try that before taking it to a gunsmith and maybe try heavier rounds instead of the 180 gr FMJs

The recoil spring or the spring in the mag?

Recoil spring.

Once jammed I can drop the magazine and the jammed round will feed into the chamber on its own
