At my recent range session I had one failure to fire out of about 300 rounds fired. I'm not sure if it was a failure to feed or a failure of the trigger to reset.
This failure to fire reminded me of a couple of failures I've had previously. I'm pretty sure those were failures of the trigger to reset.
It occurred to me that these three failures all happened while firing offhand. I havn't had a failure while firing from a rest yet. I've had about 800 rounds through the rifle so far.
This makes me wonder if there is something in my stance or the way I'm holding the PS90 that led to the failures. Something similar to limp wristing a Glock. In case you don't know, if you hold a Glock loosely you are liable to get a failure to cycle as the frame itself isn't heavy enough to provide enough inertia to allow the gun to cycle.
I read on another forum where someone's trigger wasn't resetting. They sent their rifle in to FN, but said FN didn't fix it. The owner said he fixed it himself by putting powdered graphite lube in the hammer group. I had graphite lube in the trigger pack this time though.
What do you think? I don't like any failures in a defensive weapon, but figure I am still breaking in my PS90 and learning its idiosyncracies.
