I recently purchases a p99 QA in .40 and Ive put about 50 rounds through it. Ive notice that when i load 12 in the mag and then try to cycle the action manually by racking the slide it is very difficult and puts a large gash in the brass of the cartridge that is visible if i lock the slide back looking down at that top round. I can feel this gash with not only my finger nail but my finger tip so it is really deep.
There is also a lot of deposit of said brass on the underside of the slide where that bar pushes against the cartridges in the mag. That bar doesnt feel rough or anything but it is taking some serious metal off the shells.
another thing is it hasnt jammed on my when firing but when i cycle it back and let it go about 40% of the time jams up. the feed ramp is polished and smooth as ever, so im not sure the problem. Im using Remington 180 gr range stuff.
If anyone can help me out i would be very grateful i just bought this thing and already have so many problems with it.
Thanks
Nick
the attached pictures are a cartridge and the underside of the slide with the brass all over from about 10 rounds
