    when I take the slide off my PM9 I pull the trigger and at the sae time pull the slide forward off the frame. It will catch a tad on the cocking cam but that is OK.

    the other part ur talkinga bout with the scraping part, Ihave no clue. I am sure in time it will dissappear or cause no issues either. Keep shooting the gun just gets smoother with more rounds..
    . My PM9 has over 40,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

    If you have the empty magazine in the pistol when racking, the scraping sound is the slide hold back/stop. Take the magazine out when just hand racking!
    On the internet, the number of posts do not correlate to actual knowledge.
    The notch is supposed to be there as well as the bulge at the front of the frame!

    Franko,

    It's my practice to move the slide forward till it stops, then pull the trigger back and hold it and move the slide forward till it stops or hesitates again, then release the trigger, and my slide almost always slips right off after that. If not, I'll pull and release the trigger again while applying slight pressure on the slide as above. Try this and see what happens. ...

    New CW45 went through the prep. cycled 300 times. locked it open over night. I tooked it to the range and put 50 estate rds through it. alternating with a 7 round wilson combat knock-off i got on ebay. 0 problems. 1ST shot from 12 yards, 5 inches off the red. could'nt believe it. my first .45 ... i'm a big fan now. easy recoil/very loud. thanks to everyone's advice. Mike

    I'm new to the forum and just got a new cm9, and plan on taking it to the range today. I've disassembled, cleaned, and lubed it. I'm not sure if the slide lock spring and lever are going together correctly. Is the spring supposed to be above or below the lip? Is there a good way to check that it's interfacing correctly?

    Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum!

    Watch the take down video. The manual covers it as well, but the video really shows it well, starting around 4:30 into the video:

    There are many helpful members here most of the time who might be able to help you, but as anywhere, there are many opinions and not all are correct. Be mindful of this before doing anything drastic to modify your pistol!

    if u look at that slide lock lever, that lip asu call it has a small groove in it. that is where that spring tip should lie, so it will be above not below. That springs job is to keep the lever down at all times and the only time it should go up is when the magazine follower on the last round actually engages that little lip/nubb and pushes up the slide lock.. I also put a dab of grease on that little nub to let that spring ride over that little lip nicer, and also on the left side of that little springhy where the slide lock pin engages it when re installing it.that little springhy also does anutter thing by design and that is to keep that slide stop lever from backin out to. U should hear a slight snap when u push that slide stop in correctly to.

    welcome to a good forum. Hopefully u have visited 3 good stickys
