Hey, all!
I've been reading these posts and following the CCP M1 issues since I've had my CCP. I have the Generation 1 issue. I did send it back for its warranty repair as soon as I got the notice of warranty. Now, this was my first ever pistol. I attributed some of its issues as "Operator Error", me not being experienced with shooting, etc.
What happened recently: i was showing my CCP to a family member. I released the mag, ejected the bullet that was in the chamber....but then all the ammo just "fell out" of the magazine!!! I was like, "What???!!"
I finally had some time this week to explore what might be the problem. I was watching some YouTube videos about magazines. One guy said if the slide does not lock, after the last round, there could be a problem with the magazine spring. This is exactly what my CCP was doing. And I often wondered if the problem was just the one magazine (I would have problems on the range at my gun club, and I'd ask the Range Officers about it).
Anyways, I took apart the magazine to inspect it. The spring was definitely bound up. And then the follower was stuck at the top. I was finally able to get the follower "free".
So, I took apart the "good" magazine. Everything looks pretty much the same. The only thing I see is, the follower that was "stuck" does seem to be a little "bent". Like if you put them both up to a straight edge, you can see what I mean. I will snap a picture to post.
Anyways, they are also stamped the Type "D" magazines. At this point, I think I'll just buy a new magazine. But I was just curious if anyone else had any issues with the magazine, magazine springs "binding" or anything like that.
Thanks.
