Just got my TRP the other day and shot it twice....with problems both times. Hoping some folks here could help me out.
Day 1, shot 100 rounds of Blazer Brass.
1st magazine (Metalform from SA) failed to lock the slide on the last round
2nd magazine, (Metalform from SA) stovepipe, 3rd round.
1st magazine again, failed to lock the slide on the last round
2nd magazine again, failed to lock the slide on the last round
Shot the two magazines that came with my SA Mil-Spec, and had no issues with either one.
Repeat, with no other issues..
Day 2, shot 82 rounds of WWB (left early due to a thunderstorm) Also tried my new CMC 8 and 10 round mags (3 each)
1st magazine (Metalform) Fail to Feed (FTF) 3rd round, stovepipe, 5th round.
2nd magazine (Metalform), FTF 4th round or so, failed to lock the slide on the last round
3rd magazine (Mil-Spec), no issues
4th magazine (Mil-Spec), no issues
5th magazine (CMC 8), no issues
6th magazine (CMC 8), FTF 4th round
7th magazine (CMC 8), failed to lock the slide on the last round
8th magazine (CMC 10), failed to lock the slide on the last round
9th magazine (CMC 10), no issues
10th magazine (CMC 10), FTF 6th round
I love the gun, it's easily the most accurate firearm I ever shot. I just don't get all the issues with this thing. It's can't remember having this many issues, with one firearm in my 13 years of shooting. Never had any issue limpwristing, etc. I thought these things were pretty much smooth as butter out of the box, but this is driving me nuts trying to figure out what's up. I was hoping it was just the factory Metalform magazines, but I guess not since it's all the magazines (except probably the cheapest factory 1911 mags I have, for mi Mil-Spec...go figure).
FYI when I was trying to disassemble it to clean it, I couldn't get the dang barrel out.....noticed the barrel link pin was shifting out to one side, and it wouldn't let me get the slide out so I had to tap it back flush with one of my punches...then it finally came out. Had to do this after both shooting sessions....
Overall, I'd say I'm stoked about the gun's accuracy, but big time disappointed with the reliability. Out of 182 rounds, I had 4 failures to feed, 2 stovepipes, and out of 17 magazines worth of ammo run through it 7 have failed to lock back the slide....kinda of at a loss.....Any thoughts or inputs????
