Just got my new fnp 45 and haven't fired a shot and I broke the ejector. Here's the deal and I'd like other 45 owners to check it out to see if yours is doing the same thing mine was.
The ejector on the 45 has a "v shaped bend" in it. I hadn't had time to go to the range and I was running some A-Zoom snap caps through it and noticed that the rims of the snap caps were getting gouged. upon closer examination, the ejector was "hooking" the rim of the case as the slide pushed it out of the mag and towards the chamber. thinking that this would be an easy fix, I took a pair of small needle nose pliers and proceeded to bend the tip of the ejector up a little to clear the rim of the cartrige. not knowing the ejector was "heat treated" , it snapped right off. Bob was on vacation last week and I spoke w/ tim pearce "rifle guy". he wouldn't sell me a new ejector but offered a free fix if I sent the gun back. So, that's what I did and she's been gone for a week. How long do you guys think it will be gone, and , are any other 45's doing this?
