| Picked this new Colt stainless comp 9mm with the blue grips on Sat . and on the way home picked up some Wilson 10 rd 9mm mags and a Desantis black leather holster . Cleaned the gun and lubed it up to go worked the slide back and forth about 100 times . went to shoot today and the 1st Wilson mag did not lock the gun open on last shot happened with the 2 fact mags a few times then seemed to clear up only fired about 60 rounds no jams with diff ammo . The gun is stiff will this go away ?????????????? |

Quoted:
Maybe or it could get worse. make sure your thumb is not riding the slide stop. check fit of mag follower to pad on slide stop. dimple depth on slide stop may be to deep to over come magazine spring force. or it could just be new and needs to be broken in. I'll echo this. Watch thumb placement for sure. This happened with both of the factory mags? What ammo were you using as well? |

You need some trigger time. Load up the mags, lube up the gun and fan the trigger. Gun needs a break-in period. Working the slide a 100x doesn't break-in a gun, shooting breaks-in a gun.
I'd suggest getting a couple hundred rds of 230gr ball ammo. Top off all magazines and pound the trigger. I don't mean waste a bunch of ammo. I mean rapid fire 5 rds in the center of target A then 5 rds on B. Reload. Repeat. Fast with a purpose. Doing this will expose any issues with gun or magazines. If you go free and clear with no malfunctions, then run some SD ammo. Test a gun hard. I always pounded 4-5 hundred rds through a new gun. Then, I shoot a IPDA/USPSA match under "stress" with SD ammo to test gun and magazines. I say 500 rds with no malfunctions and 150 rds of SD ammo. |
