Hi Guys,
New Ruger owner.
I bought a used LC9 at a local gun show. I really wish I would have brought brand new
Anyway, do you guys have any input into my problem? Here she is.
I took her to the range today for the first time. I ran some reloads through her and was miserable. Extraction was never a problem. However, when it loaded a new round, often times I would pull the trigger and nothing would happen. I would have to pull the slide back about an inch and release and then it might shoot. If that didnt work, I had to pull the slide all the way back and eject the good round and fire the next one. When I did this, the chances the next round would fire was 50/50.
After running 50 through, which took a while, I mentioned to the employee at the range of my problems. We decided I should try to run some factory rounds through it to see if it was an issue with the reloads. The results were better, however, I still had the same problem every 5th round or so.
One thing to note is most of the time I knew it wasn't going to fire as the trigger wasnt difficult to pull. It was almost too easy to pull. There was tension on the trigger but not as much as when it did fire
I also had some moments when the slide didn't move all the way forward after a shot.
Your advice is appreciated.
