Actually i got the fiber optic version but anyways, you just won yourself a free Jeep! You will have to drive to Canada to get it however.... just call our friend Grant Lamontagne and ask for the address! Don't tell him why though! When you get to the provided address, your free Jeep should be in the driveway!

Think that was Remington. Had a box each of Remington, Federal and brass Blazer. Was also doing first round DA, second round SA (most of them pretty centered, but a few  high and right). One handed (pretty decent right handed, all over with the left hand).

Thanks! I have had about 7-10 failure to return to batteries in the 280 or so rounds I've put through it so far. I was thinking it was just the breaking in process but I'm starting to get a little concerned. When it happens the slide sticks in the full rearward position (past the slide lock) with the slide lock disengaged (still rounds left in the magazine). A tap on the back of the slide puts it right back into battery. Not something I want to deal with for the whole life of my first polymer gun. Does anyone have any insight into this? I may call my gun shop about it tomorrow. Hopefully will not have to send it back to s&w and wait weeks or months for it. Although i would rather do that than keep the issue! Any insight appreciated!

Is it happening with different ammo?

I think it happened with both kinds i shot: magtech and federal white box... both 115 gr fmj. I shot MUCH more magtech than white box. I probably only shot about 20-30 white box at the end. I also shot 5 rounds of my current defense load but it had no issue. Hornady CD 115 gr.

[ColoSwiss]

Sorry to hear you're having problems with your new pistol.That's a major bummer. No suggestions, only thing similar that I've encountered is the slide stop bouncing up and locking up the slide.

Very her diet a bit. I would try some 124gr ammo in it, and some hotter 115gr. You don't have to run something like Horandy CD +p, but if you've been running Federal's white, RTP ammo, it is certainly less omphy than their AE or Champion loads- when I take it to the range, I probably have about a third of the brass hit my hat or shoulders on it's way back down. I'd say pick up 200 rounds of the aluminum cased ammo (it's cheap) and run it. Do slow drills, don't just blast, but see if you get more glitching. Make an afternoon of it- worst case, you're doing immediate action drills.

It is a new pistol- some things may still be working in. This is a high count for that, but that could be the case. I would certainly take her into the shop, and ask them to look it over, including mic'ing the slide and rails as well as checking the weight of the recoil spring. I would also wonder maybe if it is the magazine- my brother has a Bodygaurd, and one of the mags he got was apparently a tiny bit out of spec. It glitched about one round in 20 much like you describe, but it was only that one magazine. He blue banded it for training purposes only, but after a couple years he's had the mag wear down a little and at christmas he said it hadn't glitched in months.

[SAK Guy]

That's an odd malfunction. In that extreme rearward position, the recoil spring is fully compressed....it could be binding as well. A replacement recoil spring might fix it but on a new gun I would want them to fix it or replace it.

Ironravens's mag idea is a good thing to check....any rub to the top of the mag lips or bottom of the slide?

[SAK Guy]

Well, needed to check if my scope was still on with that new .22LR hunting ammo.....



I guess it is...no need to waste ammo. 

[Gareth]

Looks just about good enough to me mate.

I guess its ok, but wasting ammo is part of the fun!   

What type of rifle is that?

   It's an '89 vintage 881 Marlin. Got it used after the fire from a friend of our family. Been perfect. It's a full sized rifle with a fancy walnut stock..I really like it.

Once could be luck. Five shots, cold barrelled, just like this one... that means that the system is still working properly. Including you.

     That's the right way to do it but since I feel rotten most days (today was no different) and with nearly 50 years of experience behind me, I'm pretty satisfied my systems are copacetic (enough).    I was really just curious where that new (to me) CCI 45gr subsonic ammo was hitting with this rifle. It's POI seems to be close to the ammo I checked the rifle with a couple of years ago. It was that junky Federal Lightning stuff.

Not that I have noticed. I shot about 70 more rounds the other day, gun ran smoothly with no malfunctions.

Good deal! Maybe it just needed a little range time!!
