Slide fails to lock after last round
« on: September 19, 2012, 01:16:18 AM »
Hello guys. I have about 500 rounds in my P-01 and sometimes the slide fails to lock after the last round. It started doing this after I detail stripped the gun and polished some internals. I have tried both of my magazines, the slide stop groove/cut is nice and square, and it seems to occur after 40 or 50 rounds straight. I also have a 13lb main spring (wolf springs), race hammer & rrt trigger (cgw), and a reduced power firing pin spring. Any ideas on whats going on?

On a side note, did not happen with federal 115gr, S&B 115gr, and 115gr reloads.

Did happen with independence 115gr, and pmc 124gr.

First thought would be a magazine issue but now it sounds like it could be an ammo issue. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than I will chime in soon.

hi TVeezy. I concur with Jim that it might be ammo or possibly a mag spring issue. You might try getting a new mag spring from gunsprings.com and seeing if that helps or perhaps trying a +p or similar round and see if the extra pop doesnt help.

FALSE ALARM EVERYONE  ;D I realized today that I was pressing my thumbs too hard against the slide stop. My gun is perfect!

I don't know, I hear thumb removal surgery is quite expensive  ;D
