I took my PPQ to the range and shot about 200 rounds. I had more jams then I am comfortable to have in any firearm. I had double feed jams, and stove piping. I took the gun home threw in some dummy rounds and hand cycled the firearm. I noticed that with the magazine loaded with dummy rounds, the slide would get stuck when the slide had 1 cm left to be completely racked. I took the magazine out and did not have that issue when racking the slide without the magazine.
I then removed the slide and looked at the breach face. Placed a dummy round with the primer next to the breach face. Noticed that with vigorous shaking that the round would not fall out. The extractor seems to holding the round really tightly. On the opposite side of the breach face across from the extractor, i noticed friction marks (bare metal) to the point where there is small indentation. I think this is what is causing the malfunctions. Is there a way to adjust the extractor, or should I just replace it? I'm hoping I don't have to send off my ppq to Walther.
