Several months ago I purchased a CD EMS. Not long afterward I sent it back to the factory for service, the hammer would follow the slide down to half cock or rest. Took $30.00 and 3 weeks to get it back. Have had feeding problems sporattically with home grown stuff that works well in at least 3 other pistols since then. Several brands of mags, sometimes it cycles, other times it hangs up.
While cleaning it yesterday (after 200+ rounds)the slide movement was rough. The last inch or so of slide movement to the rear felt like running a very tight patch through a badly leadded bore. It appeared the slide was rubbing the top of the barrel as the slide started back. Marks on the barrel seem to confirm this. Just to make sure I had the cause of the problem I took out the spring and barrel and the tightness, creep ( if you described the motion of a trigger ) continued.
Tight is good but should I be looking at lapping or otherwise adjusting the slide/frame fit to make the movement smooth? Suggestions on how to make this happen? This exists with oil all over the rails.
Can't complain about the accuracy but would like to have some feed reliability. Thanks
