Well, I took out my new MP9, my first handgun, for the first time to the range today. My brother and I put 300 rounds through it. 100 UMC, 100 WWB, and 100 purchase reloads. I had no FTF and no FTE, it shot great (I didn't though) and felt really good in the hand. I did have a few problems/questions.
Twice the slide failed to lock back after the last shell, once on the first magazine and another time in the first 100 rounds. I hope this doesn't continue to happen.
Also, if I pulled the slide back and let it got somewhat gently, the slide would not lock all the way forward. It would not shoot and the slide must be given a tap to set itself completely, using the slide release or pulling back and letting go did not have this problem. I will just have to make sure that I give it enough force to shut all the way.
Much of my brass was coming back and hitting me in the face, arms, shoulders. This proved to be quite annoying after a while getting hit in the forehead with hot brass. I hope this gets better as it continues to get broken in.
Finally, if I slam the mag in a little too hard the slid would release and chamber the round. Wasn't really expecting this to happen so I had to be a little lighter with my inserting.
I will say that I did not really mind the trigger, its a little rough but I'm sure it will get better.
Any input into these issues that I encountered?
Overall it was a good time, I really like this gun. The UMC was the most accurate, with WWB right there with it. The reloads were not something I will get again though, very inaccurate. Got home, cleaned it and wiped it down and now it sits in its case till it can go again.
BTW, anyone use only a silicone cloth to protect their gun? Thats what I use on my shotgun with no problems but it seems everyone here uses CLP or equivalent to wipe down and protect.
Thanks,
Matt
