[Redshifts]

Need some help.

This is the scenario I am dealing with.

Does not make a difference if a magazine is loaded and inserted or the magazine is not inserted. When I pull back the slide and let it go it stops with about a 1/2 in. of the slide still not fully forward.

I am an experienced hand gunner and I am not riding the slide. No matter what I do it will just not go into battery. If I "wack" it from behind it will go fully into battery UNLESS the magazine is in and it is trying to feed a round. Then tapping the slide from the rear does nothing.

I have about 30 rounds though this gun.

HELP

Clean and lube.
Use faster ammo to help break in period.
Email or call the factory.

have you stripped the gun and confirmed there is no barrel obstruction or broken part under the slide?

I knew cleaning and lubing it would not fix the description I provided so I looked at the gun closer and used some snap caps to see exactly what was happening.

I found the issue.

I noticed that the firing pin was protruding from the bolt face and the round was not properly seating on to the face of the bolt.

When I installed the Burris plate to mount my optics I must have torqued it down to tight. The firing pin spring lays on the top of the bolt just under the plastic cover.

As soon as I started to unscrew the base plate I heard a click and sure enough the firing pin retracted to where it belonged. I used blue loctight and screwed back on the plate and mounted the sight. With and with a mag (using snap caps) the gun cycled correctly.

Issue solved. I want to thank everyone who responded I appreciate the answers.

Thanks
