I had a case sticking problem in my 940, and had top practically beat the clip full out of the chamber. The problem was a slightly rough chamber and I was able to "borrow" a chamber hone and polished the chamber and it alleviated the problem. Check with Brownells, they may still have these hones.

Information on Brian Enos forum, revolver section, about folks having problems with sticky brass. Certain types / brands of brass seemed to have caused some folks problems ..

I had one moon clip stick on me when I first got my 929.
That was the only one I've had.
Since then I've been using Revolver Supply moon clips and Winchester brass , with no problems.

I don't know about honing and polishing the 929 cylinder. I heard there are 'special' requirements for the
929 Ti cylinder and finish. But, don't really know.
