I brought a slightly used LCP to the range today after purchasing it last weekend. Because I cannot find any FMJ around here, I brought Winchester PDX1. After 22 rounds, I had a failure to eject. The round was wedged parallel to the barrel, and the slide was locked tight. I ejected the magazine and shook the round out.
Two more rounds later, I had a failure to feed. Then the slide would not slide all of the way to the rear. It was far enough to cock the hammer but not far enough to feed a round into the chamber. After I dropped the magazine out, the slide still would not slide all of the way back.
I disassembled it twice, the second time at home. The slide now moves all of the way to the rear like it should. I'm concerned that if I send it to Ruger, the repair department will not think it has a problem.
Any ideas as to the problem? I am really concerned, since this one needs to run 100 percent.
