I was playing with my brand new SR9 and getting to know it, ive discovered something that alarms me.
After i dry-fire the gun (magaine in of course), And retract the slide I can see the firing pin still protruding through the breechface. Now it will do this about 1/2 of the time. Looking at the mechanism it seems there is no spring or device that retacts the firing pin immediately after firing.
That means my gun is trying to pick up a new round and load it into the chamber, with the firing pin still protruding through the breechface!
The firing pin will finally retract about 1/2in from lockup, but it seems a new round would already be locked in place before this happens. Making the firing pin contact the primer.
I would appreciate it if you could check if your SR9 does this too.
Everything else seems to work fine and the gun cycles through rounds just fine, but I have obviously stopped doing that untill I can verify my firing pin isnt malfunctioning.
PS, it does this with and without the magazine disconnect in place.
