Hey guys,
my CZ P-07 in 9x19 has some issues and I hope you can help me or maybe point me in the right direction.
So I bought a new P07 (2023 production) and fired a total of 300 rounds through it (cleaned it and oiled it lightly every 100 rounds) , 4 boxes of Sellier & Bellot 124 grain FMJ, one box of 115 grain FMJ also from S&B and 50 rounds of my own 124 grain reloads. I'm using the original magazines that came with the gun.
Problem #1: I get failures to feed every 30-50 rounds, the slide is slightly out of battery and needs a push to fully chamber the round. There is no resistance and I can easily push it closed with my thumb.
Problem #2: ejection pattern is just crazy. It ejects brass all over the place, even at 9 o'clock, straight into the air and also right onto my forehead. Ammunition does not seem to matter, it just spits it everywhere, sometimes the brass barely makes it out of the chamber. Ammo works fine in other pistols.
Problem #3: sometimes the slide feels like it is operating in slow-motion for 3-4 rounds and then it cycles properly again. I can really feel it slowly cycling going CA-CHUNK every shot. It feels like a really slow semi-auto shotgun cycling.
It feels like the slide catches on something every now and then but I cannot see any wear marks and cycling the gun by hand it feels smooth like any other 9mm pistol. The surface on the hammer and the area the slide contacts the hammer are both very smooth and well machined. I cannot see or feel any burs where the slide rides in the metal recesses in the frame.
In fact the gun looks exceptionally well machined.
I'm an experienced gun owner and I've been shooting pistols for a decade now - never had issues like that before, not even with poor quality 1911's with really terrible set up extractors.
