View Full Version : PM45 Won't Eject Live Round

Went to Wally World to get some range fodder for PM45 and they only had Remington UMC 230gr JHP in a bulk box, so I went ahead and grabbed a box. The gun has <150 rounds through it so far, and there have not been any problems at all...other than having to seat the mag like a man. While trying to answer the question of whether I could rack the slide to load each of my Kahrs, I found that I cannot eject a live round of this ammo. It seems to long. I have to drop the mag, pull back the slide, and poke the round back into the grip. It will not come through the ejection area. I am very afraid that it will mess up the extractor, so I won't do it anymore.

Is this common with this round? Are there other rounds that have similar issues? What are some shorter rounds that I can use in both ball and SD? I don't recall specifically if I have ever ejected a live round from the gun, but I must have in the past.

We've heard of this before. I think the secret is to rack with GUSTO. Some have had to clean up a small area on the hood for clearance but usually you gotta just rack in meaningfully.

I can't finese a round out of mine very well.

The last time that I posted anything about my PM45, you accused me of limp wristing it. Now you say I'm racking like a girl!?! Who is the Forum Father in this place? Is it Jocko? I'm reporting you.

I muhwah accused YOU of limpwristing. I don't think so. I never accuse anyone of that cause it can happen to anyone.

This ain't gonna look good on my annual review, boss might reprimand me severely.

Like Jocko, your post numbers are going to go backwards!

OMG!:eek: I hadn't looked for awhile, guess I got a little bank to draw from. Wish they were worth something, say buck a piece?
