How is it people purchase a pistol, bring it home and then declare the trigger pull as "trash"?
I always dry-fire the pistol and work the slide and magazine release prior to purchase.
I purchased this firearm from gunbroker and didn't have the opportunity to play with it before receiving it. I also expected this pistol to have a certain, small amount of break-in as far as the trigger goes, as most guns do, so there was no reason for me not to accept it after my initial inspection at my FFL. My P-07 didn't have a spectacular trigger when I first received it, but it's amazing now.
Do the cartridges partially clear the breech or do they just lie there stopping the next round from being fed?
As far as this goes, no, the rounds don't actually stovepipe, the remain parallel to the rest of the rounds in the magazine. I will make a separate comment with a photo from my very first malfunction.
Concerning the slide refusing to lock back, like I posted before, normally I wouldn't be afraid to admit it had I been doing something wrong, but I know for a fact that I wasn't. As stated before, I believe limp wristing would have caused a malfunction in my other firearms well before this if it was an issue and my small hands don't really cause my thumbs to come anywhere near the slide or the slide release when holding this particular firearm. I do appreciate your insight and interest though, I will keep everybody posted with progress.
