Hey guys. I just bought this 96G, and the past 2 times I've gone to the range something kinda strange happens. When I've fired my last shot, the slide returns to the normal "ready to fire" position. I am a right hand shooter, so I tossed around the idea that maybe I was accidentally pushing on the slide release while firing. Has anyone ever heard of this being a problem (either the gun or me)? If it's me, I probably should try a different thumb position. If it's the gun....what do I do? Thanks!! |
| I'm willing to bet you're hitting the slide release. I had the same problem with my 92FS when I first got it, then I realized what the problem was, changed my thumb position, and it's fine now. I've also heard of it happening to a couple of other people before too. |
| no not yet. i'll be going to the range either thursday or friday (or both!), so i'll be sure to ask somebody to watch me. i think it's happened to me 3 times total...once last week and twice the last time at the range. Sad thing is, I have been shooting some of my best groups recently....:( |
I had this problem when I first shot my M9. I changed where I put my thumb a bit and it's good to go. |
