I have a brand-new P22 that won't extract consistently when I hand-cycle it (successfully extracts maybe 1 of 15). I haven't fired the gun yet and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experinece.
I've tried Federal, Winchester, and Aquila ammo with comparable results; I also checked about 5 times to make sure everything was nice and clean around the extractor.
My first thought was ammo, so I am going to pick up some mini-mags tomorrow (seems they work well for for other folks).
Other thoughts:
-Maybe it will extract when actually fired? (anyone want to try hand cycling a few rounds and tell me how it goes?)
-Maybe the extractor spring is weak?
-??
Other stuff: the gun is a 2003 model (AD date code), S&W marked, mags have the "A" suffix and feed fine.
Any thoughts or advice on this would be appreciated; should I talk to the shop before I fire it, or take it to the range and then deal with Walrep and/or the local shop?
