I just had a Makarov channel something that felt like half-burned powder and oil into my face after I fired. The problem is worse with Corbons and less with S&B but still present.
Could it be premature slide unlocking due to a weak spring? Too much oil inside? The particles came through the firing pin channel and between the slide and the frame. I used the gun a couple of months ago without any trouble.
I also noticed the mouth of the top round in the magazine seemed smashed against the front of the magazine. The only difference from the last trip is that I replaced Pearce grips with the standard plastic grips.
Any guesses? My gunsmith won't guess, he says nothing comes to mind as a culprit.
