Hi, this is my first post here on this forum.
I've taken my 5.7 to the range a couple of times now, and I seem to be having some trouble with it. It isn't cycling after firing, or the cycle is weak. I've tried it with SS195LF and SS197, and both have the same problems. The pistol either won't cycle- it recoils but the slide doesn't move enough to eject the empty, or upon a weak ejection it slams shut before the next round is fully chambered.
That said, the problems are most prevalent with the first few rounds in the magazine. I stripped the pistol, scrubbed it clean and lubed it very lightly, and that didn't seem to help much. I lubed it heavier, and that didn't help either. I'm holding the pistol firmly, so I don't think it has anything to do with limp wristing. I have about 100 rounds through the pistol so far.
Any ideas? Thanks ahead of time!
