I have over three hundred rounds thru my CW9, every shot has been perfect except one that occured today:
I was halfway thru a mag and upon pulling the trigger nothing happened. I ejected the cartridge and found no mark on the primer. I fired off the rest of the magazine, loaded the one cartridge back in, chambered it normally, and bang it went.
Since this is a striker equipped pistol whereby the operation of the trigger pulls the striker back until it's released, how is it possible for the above to happen? One consideration could be I somehow didn't fully release the trigger after the preceding shot, I was doing some off balance SD exercises and I can't say for sure if it "clicked" when I pulled it or not.
Also-should the striker spring apply pressure to the striker for the whole stroke? I noticed, upon field stripping, that when the striker block is pushed up I can move the striker forward with my finger, it doesn't move on its own by the spring's pressure. It appears the last bit of forward motion is by inertia. Does that make sense?
