Hello friends,
I have encountered two problems (one for each caliber).
First, in my 9mm, one of the rounds didn't go all the way into the chamber. It was 4th or 5th round in the mag, and the slide wouldn't go all the way but rather got "stuck" 1/8-1/16'' from the front position. All I had to do was to give the slide some help, I pushed it forward all the way. After that, the gun finished the mag and I reloaded at least 4 more mags - no more problem. It was a first faliure of any kind in this model (I disregard a few mishaps with aftermarket mags). I was using factory new Winchester white box 115 gr FMJ. My log shows 1300 shots so far.
Second, in my brand new .40. I just love this gun in .40, awesome. However, a wierd thing happening, the slide goes forward as soon as a mag clicks home. It wasn't like that for the first 10 or so mags, but now I have it with every time I reload. Only if I insert mags "gently", the slide remains in the back position. As soon as I "push" or "slam", the gun chambers the first round "automatically" without the slide stop lever being engaged by my thumb. What gives? Oh, by the way, it never happens with an empty mag, only with a loaded one. I can slam an empty mag as hard as I wish, the slide stays at the back. Now, I can assure you when I say I push ar slam a mag, it is very moderate effort, I am not crazy to really slam it in. I do it with the same level of force as for my 9mm (it never happens in the 9mm).
Thank you in advance!
Val
