New ECP
« on: May 15, 2024, 03:56:12 PM »
Well, just bought me 1st Dan Wesson ECP. Brought it home, read the manual, checked out some videos and got it apart, cleaned and re-Fp-01'd it. Read the manual and studied;  says make it wet, which I did. But gett'n the buger back together when it's slick was a bit of a pain. Not looking forward to doing that every 50 rounds till 500! Tomorrow, range time, or should I say shoot, take apart, clean, put back togeter, re-load my 2 mags, shoot, repeat! Ahhh, but that beats working!!!

First 50 through it. 1 ftf and 1 mag won't lock back. 450 rounds an 9 more cleanings to go. Hopeing it runs like my CZ's at that point in time.

I have a TCP- very similar to the ECP, but with a rail and magwell.

Mine had difficulty with 147 gr rounds until broken in- for me at about 350 rds.

Suspect it’ll get better over time, but to be sure, recommend you mark your mags to potentially ID a bad mag.

Also found when slamming my OEM mags in, I had the polymer lip of the mag base slip over the front strap, jamming the mags in the gun.  Operator error for sure with polymer mag bases, but it’s part of my competition muscle memory.  Am using metal mag bases from Dawson Precision and problem solved.

Like a midget at a urinal, I'll have to keep on my toes

Yep, mags seem to be an issue. Unlike mags for my CZ's that just work, everytime...  Will get out later this week for another 50 rounds and get that puppy slowly broke in...

I had an issue with my Guardian's mags.  Can't recall which brand I bought but that fixed the issue.  Congrats on the new ECP.
