My K9’s slide isn’t as smooth running as my CM9’s. Also, there is sometimes a hangup about a quarter inch short of battery. That only happens during hand cycling, not actual live fire.
I hereby establish that the metal thingy pointing toward the muzzle, just under the slide, has the technical term of “prong.” Justin Moon may think it has some gun-engineering (gungineering?) technical name, but for this thread it’s a prong.
My CM9’s prong is beveled, my K9’s isn’t. Could that be hanging up my slide and making it rough to cycle?
The K9 has about 500 or more rounds through it, so I’d say it’s broken in.
Oh, also - the flange end of the K9’s guide rod is getting mangled. Seems like it shouldn’t be.
