slide does not lock on my 952

[white wolf]

Need your advice gents.
I own new 952 stainless with cca 600 rounds through it.My problem is,that when the magazine is full or more than 6rds,the slide does not come properly back and stay cca 1 inch back and I must push the slide back in battery.No other function problems.Any advice welcome.
Also - does some magazine extension exist,so I can load 1-2 more rounds?
thank you -white wolf

if your slide wont return to battery I would replace the recoil springs and check the rails for burrs or damage

Not normal. For the price of the 952, ship it back. Have them explain why.

This is a brand new gun,rails are clean,very well lubed and with out mag
glide like sig p210.Problem started when mag is inserted-full or almost full.Will shoot cca 200-300 rounds more and see what happens.Be honest
I am very unhappy with this situation.

Like I said, call for a shipping label and ship it back. My new 952 wouldn't fire. The sear broke. They are not perfect. Have the maker fix it right. Good luck.

My 952 has worked perfectly from day one. Is the same problem evident when another person shoots the gun? I assume you are gripping the gun firmly. If the prblem persistes it should be corrected at the factory.
Try Speed Shooters Specialties for a magazine extention. I believe they sold a brass +1 round magazine extender.

Thanks you all for advice.Tomorrow I will ship my gun for repair to factory.Hope for best.
thanks again,wolf.

Are these reloads?

 

[white wolf]

No,factory ammo-winchester white box and federal.
I reload only for my .45 , .454 and .500.

Mine is the same, It is getting better and better as I shoot it more.
I shoot only my own reloads, it really got me at first, I bought a 952-1
LNIB and a Model 39 same day at Cabelas.
The 39 shot like a dream, 952-1 kept having problems, fortunately they are really getting better with time.
I really think mine is just really tight. The 39 is more loose, like comparing
high end target model to a Military type gun.

Hi Patton Time.
Thanks for response.You are right,new targets models are very tight,need some time to get loose.Just dont known how many rounds.
Mine has cca 600 rds.How many round has yours?
Thanks again-wolf
