OK, I've been to two IDPA shooting classes these last two Sundays. Both days I had the following problem:
The gun functions flawlessly for the first 250 rounds or so, but after this I start to have malfunctions, namely, occassionally a spent case remains in the gun and becomes jammed in horizontally. (To clear it I have to drop the mag, cycle the slide, and sometimes tip out the cartridge.)
As I said, this has happeneed two shooting sessions in a row, so I don't think it's a fluke. The ammo (reloads) remained the same thoughout each session and the problem only showed up after 250 rounds.
Does anyone out there have an idea of what this could be? If the extractor spring were weak, wouldn't it show up right from the beginning? Ditto with the ammo? Could it have anything to do with the gun getting dirty or hot? I'm stumpted!
Any ideas?
