Clicking Sound on new P1
Hello all. I am a new member here and an owner of a P1. I just bought my P1 yesterday at Sportsman Warehouse in Salem, Oregon (great shop and staff, BTW).
I noticed there is a clicking sound when I'm moving the gun. Gentle shaking definitely reproduces the sound. When I retracted the slide, there is a tiny movable "pin" on the left side of the firing pin region that's causing the sound. I called Sportsman and they did reproduce the same clicking noise in their display model. I guess it did make me feel better but is this normal? Thank you. Best, Ron Last edited by Ron328; 02-17-2012 at 04:37 PM. |

Here are photos. Sorry, not the best quality. It has the Hex pin and fatter slide.
addendum: sorry the system won't upload my internet-sized pics. Last edited by Ron328; 02-17-2012 at 02:24 PM. |

Wartime models have a "click" sound when moved. It is caused by the ejector that moves freely. Postwar versions have a spring on it to keep it in place. Maybe the spring is off?

That I don't know. I am new to these guns. I called the shop I bought the gun from and the display model did the same thing. Plus AoxoMoxoA's post...I hope this is normal. Ron |

When you hear clicking, time to reload!

Here are pics (3rd one with my Ruger LC9) . I went to the dealer to confirm and their display model has that same clicking sound. Time to load!
