and then I realized it wasn't functioning properly.
When you pull the slide back all the way and release it (like any other semi-auto), the slide would go forward.
Then I went to dry fire it and pulled the trigger… there was a slight "click" from something but the gun didn't dry-fire on the initial trigger pull after properly racking the slide. But after that, it would dry-fire normally and I could see the hammer being pulled back as I pressed on the trigger. Each time I would rack the slide and go to fire the gun, on that first trigger pull it wouldn't dry fire. The magazine was inserted properly.
I showed the employee, who tried for himself, and then showed the manager (who happens to be my neighbor). They both agreed it wasn't functioning properly.
If I were the manager/owner, I'd be unhappy that whichever employee bought this used gun didn't pick up on this before they bought it and then put it on the "used" shelf. They were as disappointed as I was. He told me they'd get it fixed and call me when it was ready to see if I still want to buy it (which I definitely won't). I was gonna get it for $200 and I was pretty bummed. I'm just gonna buy a new one now, probably the LC9s.
Anyway, has anyone else with an LC9 experienced this? For those of you that have a much greater understanding of firearm mechanics than I do (which is a lot of folks on here), any idea what was wrong here?
