Any ideas...

Last night I was hand cycling different rounds through my new P7. The gun was a CDNN purchase with the plumb slide, it has not been fired yet. I field striped it, and it looks clean as a whistle.

I loaded a mag with 5 rounds of Corbon DPX (my carry ammo), inserted, droped the slide and inseted a round into the chamber, no worries. Then I droped the mag and tried to eject the round in the chamber by manualy cycling the slide. The round hald the slide back and would not eject through the slide, instead it fell out of the mag well.

Any ideas on why this might be. I can hand cycle my USPC-9 with Corbon all day and it throws the ammo out perfectly.

I tried some other JHP ammo and it seemed to hand cycle fine.

Thanks!

The USPc and P7 ejection ports are very different. The P7 is smaller. Looks like the Corbon is a tad too long for the P7's port.

I wouldn't worry about hand cycling as much as I would worry about cycling during live fire. Give the gun a chance and shoot it first.

Now that I think about it later, were you cycling the slide fast or slow? Some of my Sigs don't like to be hand cycled slowly. But they work every single time when firing.

I tried booth....good advice about hand cycling vs. live fire (completely different dynamic).

Thanks guys!

Even if it works with live fire I doubt I would use that as my carry ammo if you can't clear a round from the chamber without dropping the mag. Seems like that would overly complicate a malfunction drill.

Do people that carry the P7 have reason to practice malfunction drills? :27000000:

Yes

Shouldn't people who drive BMWs still know how to change a flat tire?

What that being said...what is a good defense ammo that the P7 really likes?

Thanks!
