I just got an new MK9 Elite last week and am having trouble with it.
1. I fire a shot, the spent shell is ejected and a live round is chambered. So far so good. However, the trigger does not always engage for the next shot. That is, when the trigger is pulled there is no tension on it as though the gun is not cocked.
2. Same thing sometimes happens when I insert a loaded magazine, when the slide is locked open, and close the slide using the slide release. The first round is chambered but the trigger is not always cocked. As far as I can tell, the slide is seated as far forward as it can go.
In both cases I rack the slide, eject the chambered (live) round, and all is well.
This seems to happen randomly, but at least 1 or 2 times per magazine. There is no pattern to which round in the magazine has the problem. It happens with both the 6 round and 7 round mags that came with the gun.
Anyone else experience this??? I'm open to suggestions. I realize any new gun needs a break-in period. Before shooting it for the first time I stripped it down, cleaned it and lubricated it. I shot 100 rounds through it in the first session at the range. After that I cleaned it and lubed it again. Today I put another 250 rounds through the MK9. I've been using factory loaded ammo, both 115 grain and 124 grain.
Aside from the problem describe above the gun works flawlessly and is extremely accurate and easy to shoot.
