Hello everyone.
I have a 2/22/2011, LC9. No problems at all until recently, I noticed that with an empty gun, no ammo, no mag, If you hold the gun normally and sharply "whip" the gun forward and back, the slide will move back and forth about an inch.
Tried many ammo manufactures and no problems except one round of S and B 115 gr. round nose. Fired one round, the shell partially ejected and the front edge of the ejection port caught the open mouth of the shell. You can see dents on the open mouth of the case. The case was jammed between the open mouth on the ejection port and by the face of the bolt. Not really jammed, just caught there.
No other problems with any of the 6 or 7 other ammo manufactures.
I'm thinking that the recoil springs are weak. I did check, both the inner and outer springs were properly installed. I can't find anything else wrong with the internals. The gun is always kept clean and lubed correctly.
Except the "shake" and this one S and B round, the gun has been flawless.
Do you folks think it should go back to the mother ship?
Any one else had anything like this occur?
Thanks in advance....Sarge
