CM9 failure to feed

[jokester]

Ive owned the CM9 for a year now with 900 flawless rounds thru it.Ive recently have had 2 range trips.The first of these two i had one failure to feed,The other 49 went flawless.The trip i took today i had 3 failure to feed and 47 flawless rounds.Total of the 4 rounds 2 were fmj and 2 were hollow point.I have 2 mags, a 7 and 6 round.It happened with both mags.The round is nose dived into the slide ramp and the slide locks open.:confused: Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

check to see if by chance the follower is grabbing a tad on the magazine release button. Ud did not mention at what round in the magazine it did this either. It will take 5 minutes to check ot see and 5 minutes to fix if needed.

I think I would asll install a new recoil spring assembly to retest to. Who knows, ur new recoil assembly might just cure that.

could be the your magazine springs also... like mentioned get new mags springs and a new recoil spring wouldn't hurt either. Cured my pm40

The 2nd and 3rd rounds were doing this.I will order up some new parts and give it a whirl !! Thanks. The ammo ive been using is the same 900 flawless rounds ive already put thru it so i am ruling out the ammo. It just started acting up.

Ok, time for the stupid question.......................................... ..

Have you tried cleaning your magazines? By this, I mean taking them completely apart to clean.

I had cleaned the mags before i went to the range, that is a good question though.Here is what i am seeing it do.When i am loading the mag (both 6 & 7)the 1st 2 rounds sit in the mag and the rounds are flush with a upward angle.As i load the 3rd and up to the 6th round the base of the rounds are flush but there is a gap in the front of the round,only on the top round only.So with a full 6 round mag the top round moves up and down in the front but flush in the back.So when i slowly close the slide the round when hit and pushed towards the barrel tilts down and nose dives. I tried fed hst-winch pdxi-blaser brass and speer lawmen ammmo. I have looked at my kimber,m&p comp,glock 19 and all of these mags when full have the top round flush with the rounds below it. I am i missing something or did i find the problem.

what ur describing is normal for kahr magazines. What u cannot do is "slowley
try to load the top round, u gonna get issues. Now I did not pick this scenario up when u described ur initial issues. I gathered the rounds were mis feedng during actuall cycling after a round was shot..

[jokester]

They are doing this when firing under normal conditions i was just investigating what would cause the problem.Now that i know this is normal( the way the rounds sit in the mag) i plan on ordering some springs ect.. Thanks again.There are the ideas that i was given also so i will check those out to.

Oh and make sure everything is shiny, shiny, shiny clean. Did I say shiny clean yet. (personal experience) Chamber, breach face, extractor, etc... after 900 rounds there may be a hidden bit of crud some where. After that I would think maybe springs or follower.
