I recently purchased my FNP9-M SAO and though I've only shot 100 rounds thus far, I have had a consistant problem: the slide doesn't seem to be working all the way back. Also, when I tore the gun down, there was a very gold line from where the bottom of the slide had rubbed against the "on deck" round in the mag.
On the first magazine, I never had a clean reload, problems consisted of:
~ The expended brass getting caught on it's way out of the chamber
~ The slide not catching on the rear of the next bullet, but rather just before the rear causing the next bullet to exit the magazine strangly and not enter the chamber
~ The slide not locking back on the last shot of a magazine
I know it's only 100 rounds and the gun won't hit it's full stride for another few hundred rounds, but I had the problems listed above throughout the 100 rounds. I would say only about 1 rounds fed correctly after a shot, but the slide never locked back on the last one.
I've heard of a possible cause being my shooting stature, that I'm absorbing some recoil with my shoulder. This is a possibility because I've been shooting with my weak hand (recent surgery on the other elbow), but I have shot a friend's new M9 in this manner w/o a problem.
Currently the firearm is sitting with the slide locked open in case the spring is just a little tight, hopefully it will loosen-up, but it seems like that won't fully solve all my problems.
Thanks for the help.
