Hello everyone. I'm having some feeding issues with a new FNS 9. It will feed and fire American Eagle ammo, but hangs up on MagTech. I would write it off as an ammo issue, except for the nature of the hang-ups. What's happening is that the striker pin is still protruding from the breach face while the next round is trying to slide up the face to align with the chamber. The cartridge rim hits the pin and everything stops. When shooting to slide lock or pulling the slide back to lock, sometimes the pin is protruding from the breech face, sometimes not.
A fellow shooter with extensive Glock experience looked it over at the range today and said it was not normal for a striker-fired pistol to behave this way. The striker pin should promptly retract at the first hint of rearward slide movement.
My question/request for any FNS owners on the board is to take a look at your pistol when racking the slide after pulling the trigger (dry-fire; please be safe). Is the striker pin still protruding as the slide is moving forward back into battery?
Thank you in advance.
