Today I was shooting my Ruger P95, it new with only 250 rounds through it including today's shooting of 100 rounds. So far I've shot 100 rounds of Remingtons with no problems, and have shot 150 rounds of Olympic Ammo with no problems until today. I had about 10 rounds not fire on me. The primer looked like it was struck but not dented. Is this a gun malfunction or an ammo malfunction. I looked at the primers of the fired cases and they were struck just off center. thanks for any help. |

Sludge in the firing pin channel? Broken mainspring? Case too short? (excessive headspace) These would be the first areas I'd check. Particularily #1 if it was colder when you went shooting than normal. More deer get a second lease on life because of excessive oil in the firing pin channel in cold weather. Kent |

Some arabic ammo I had years ago would make any 9MM cry...chunks of primer would break off and build up in the firing pin channel after a few dozen rounds. If you find it too hard to remove the internals, a spray solvent may flush out the problem, rear & front of the hole, using that small tube, usually included on the can. Working the firing pin back & forth between sprays may even loosen up more crud. Best of luck and avoid bargain ammo...not really such a bargain after all. |
