Hello folks!
I bought one of these about 3 years ago, and have had nothing but problems, so I was wondering if someone here has had similar problems and could help me out.
When I first got it I had many, many extraction failures after the first magazine in a clean gun. Firing one mag got it dirty enough to affect function. The factory replaced the slide and barrel, and then it seemed to work fine, for a while.
Then one day when I was shooting for qualification (backup gun) it just quit working. Pull the trigger, nothing. Rack slide, pull trigger, nothing. I got mad at it and put it away and didn't look at it till today (over 2 years). I finally decided to look at it. I stripped it apart and found that the hammer block spring had disconnected from the hammer block. I managed to take the hammer block and spring out and reassemble it without totally going mad! Anyway, it seemed to function perfectly. I was function testing it, dry firing, mag in and out. Everything seemed to work perfectly, until it did it again! The spring had popped out of the hammer block! So, I dissassembled and reassembled, again, and I have no hair left! Oh well, I was bald to begin with.
It looks like this is going to be a recurring problem. Has anyone had the same problem, and is there a fix? I don't want an unreliable gun, especially one used for defense.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
