Went to the range today with a bag of pistols, in the mix was my Ruger P-95, 9mm. I bought it brand new and have fired about 150 rounds of factory ball ammo to date. I clean it after every range session. I have used Remington ammo in the past and today I bought a box of Fiocchi FMJ 115gn.
I had 2 failures to extract out of 30 rounds, so I stopped shooting the Ruger. Here is what happened:
The fired round would remain in the chamber and the next round in the mag had the bullet nose contacting the base of the fired, unextracted case. I left the unextracted case in the chamber, pushed the mag back and then tried to use as little force as possible to remove the unextracted case. Note I keep using the word "unextracted". This is because the case would practically fall out of the chamber, both times, therefore the chamber is not rough.
There was gunsmith at the range and I asked him to take a look. He said it was the case, that Fiocchi uses a laquer coating (to prevent corrosion). This laquer supposedly allows the extractor hook to "slip" off the rim, kinda' like a lubricant.
I think the extractor spring is weak. I hate to send this gun back to Ruger since I "assume" I will have to pay the shipping charges at least one way.
I am thinking of using a Wolff extractor spring, but I'm not sure.
Suggestions?
