Finally the stars aligned, the wind quit blowing, and my SIL and I went to the range early yesterday morning. Oh, boy, I finally get to try out my new Canik TP9-SRX. Hooray quickly turned into pooey and then more profane comments. About every third shot resulted in a jam with the gun loading a fresh round and the empty case of the just fired shot laying on top of the round in the magazine and keeping the slide from closing. I have had stovepipes with some guns but never this problem. This happened with the three different brands of ammo and one box of handloads that we took with us. Four other 9mm guns had not one problem with any of it.
We had a front come roaring in from the northwest early this morning but the wind is slacking off so I will take my new toy out to my shop after lunch and see what is what with it and if I need to return it. Extraction was weak with the cases that did eject correctly so I will look at that first. The very first case landed on my cap's bill with the rest landing close to my right foot as I am right handed. At the very first I thought did I just limp wrist this thing but made certain I didn't with subsequent shots which made no difference at all. My SIL had the same problem also. I also found that the little dots on the frame's back strap are too much for my tender skin and I was sore between my thumb and finger when I gave up on it. That will be easily fixed when I can get a correctly shooting gun.
