hiccup
« on: April 22, 2019, 07:35:13 AM »
MY favorite CZC is a CTS. love the accuracy and trigger on this target shooter.

the last couple of times out, I notice a hiccup as the slid e  move into battery. Not sure what causes it,  I am thinking it is the next round being loaded but caught in the magazine   or the feed ramp needs to be polished.  The slide doe s go into battery without issue every time  buttheis hiccup is odd. I use blazer brass 124  gr fmj usually. Have used  Amer eagle  124 and 147 gr fmj  during the recent sale as well as S-B  124 gr  fmj. 

any ideas?  any fixes? anyone else have this  small,annoying issue present itself

Possible worn recoil spring slowing it down?

could be  but this gun was new less than 1 year ago and only has 300 rounds through it. 

 worth buying  a  new recoil spring for it anyway

I only mention that as a possibility because you noticed it recently. Could be the nose profile/velocity of different ammo as well.

If it didn't do it to start with I can't see it being a feed ramp issue.  If the ramp was smooth and bullets were feeding fine when new there should be no damage/rough spots on the feed ramp from normal use/cleaning/lubrication.

One thing that is a good idea, whether the magazines are dirty or not, is to disassemble the magazines, clean out any crud/lubrication inside them, degrease the outside and put a couple coats of good car wax on the metal surfaces inside and outside.  Just like your car/truck.  Clean them, put a coat of wax on, let it dry a few minutes (till it hazes over) and wipe the excess off.  Then repeat.

The wax will protect the surfaces from rust and the inside will be slicker to help with loading/feeding and dust/dirt won't be so bad to stick to it or build up on it. 

1sow recommended that last year when I expressed concern about how wet my P01/magazines got (sweat and rain and splash water from high pressure washing).  It worked great.  For the rest of the summer I'd come in the house, dry the pistol off, pull the mag and the spare mag out and just wipe them off with a dry paper towel.  They'd shine like a new penny.  Worked so well I even waxed up my new XD magazines last winter.  They're stainless but stainless does corrode and they stay cleaner with wax on them.

Good luck with your pistol.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

thanks for the great ideas @M1a4me

a magazine problem could be the answer as it seems to me that t he hiccup comes when  the next round is being   fed
