Dear shooters:
Just today I traded for a NIB 9mm, CZ TT9P. Upon bringing it home I found in the case (the pistol was new) all papers and two cases used for "ballistic fingerprinting" and a test target and full papers.
Upon cleaning the bbl. I oiled and checked the pistol, loaded one clip with 9mm good ammo and "egad" the pistol only chambered one round which I fired! The slide locked up on picking up the next round and was very hard to rack back to clear it.
To make a long story short I found that the bullet "leade" had not been cut at CZ! Pressures on that first round were probably high with the bullet either jamed into the lands (or pushed down in the case).
I used my 9MM reamer and cut the "leade" finding the headspace right on!
Loaded up four rounds in magazine and "vioila" four rounds out quick - A.O.K.
Nice little pistol with two mags and brushes and loader in nice serial numbered case. (I did polish the bbl. feed ramp some.)
Factory guns of all makes usually need some tweaking but this kind of problem should not exist!
Result: One happy 9MM owner and I still like CZ!

P.S.: you only need one 9MM! I'll carry this little job.
