I just watched a guy (youtube) disassemble a Ruger LC9S.
After flipping up the little pin lock door, he turn it over and out the pin slipped (ploop) without having to be pushed out. I was amazed as I have to use a tool to push it out.
So, I wondered what sort of grease, lube, oil, telflon, mobil 1 or what the heck he lubed the pin with in order not having to use a tool to get the pin out of it's little hidey hole.
Can anyone here perform this 'almost' magic act?
If so, would you please let me in on the secret?
BTW, I took out the LC9S to (maybe) make a discovery.
While it'll shoot the 147 Speer Lawman practice ammo with the magazine it came with, it really prefers 115 grain fmj's for practice. This also held true for the 7 round mag I bought from Midway.
I don't know if what I'm about to post has any bearing or not, but it seemed to operate better shooting fast, vs. slow, deliberate aimed shooting.
Anyone know if this faster paced shooting is simply coincidental in efficiency i.e., shooting faster promotes fewer failures to to eject or feed?
Shooting roughly 150/200 rounds we had a few failures. FTF twice/three times and not going into slide lock after the last round was shot. However, the failure rate with every outing is to some extent lessening...
Is it because it's getting better with greater shooting thus breaking in?
Shrug! I don't know.
Feedback please, if you'll be so kind.
Thank you!!
