I hope they make it right and make it right quickly... Me too! I was having a blast with the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer-x Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Just checked my CK 9 open. Clearance between slide and comp at top is right at .010 on mine. Around 1K rounds through mine right now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3djedi Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 I talked with CK. Seems they are having issues with cracking with STi slides. They said it will take 6-10 weeks to fix. That sucks but it is what it is.......Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelix Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 This stinks with a new gun now being sent for up to 10 weeks. This is way you by a in stock gun not to have a wait. Did he say what would happen if you keep shooting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine was told a while back "you broke, you fix it." Needless to say, he no longer shoots an STI gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Steele Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 OP... let us now if it's slide materials defect or the fitting that caused the crack.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, G Since the middle of last year with slides I bought from SpeedShooters. It won't hurt anything to keep shooting it. One of them that broke on me, the customer had me extend the slot cut to the end of the slide, similar to the slide cut for a hybrid barrel. It should run as long as any pistol with a hybrid barrel.

And, like you said, an island barrel has a slot cutout right there.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter1998 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 That seems like a long time ! Gun being only 3weeks old! Did you speak to Matt or Bobby? Matt was always very helpful in the past. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman57 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Cutting and milling the slide, fitting the slide to frame and then sending it off for PVD finishing. Equals 8 to 10 weeks from the time you let go of it till the time you get it back..... yuck but that's the way it is, been there done that.

Been disappointed in sti for awhile, They refused to cover a slide cut same as their DVC, cracked in dust cover. Welded it then it cracked over the lugs , yes there was clearance in both places. Then another on an edge that was lightened to 11.ozs. So I've gone to pt and ck frames and Caspian slides. Guess what! Nothing is has broken so probably won't need warranty, but if so I'm sure it'll be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah pump the brakes wasn't meaning to upset anyone. My point is they can all have problems. I have witnessed a lot of sti bashing on this forum from fanboys. I do think that it is funny that they use sti slides, and these same people claim that the gun is vastly superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have witnessed a lot of sti bashing on this forum from fanboys. I do think that it is funny that they use sti slides, and these same people claim that the gun is vastly superior. Many top builders use STI frames and slides as a base for a build. Then custom fit aftermarket parts that are of much higher quality than STI. But now that patents on 2011 frames etc have expired some builders are making their own base parts to much tighter tolerances than STI ever did. If you mic a CK frame or even a PT frame you will find them much tighter tolerances than STI. STI's are mass produced guns. They generally work and I even know of a few people running bone stock STI's that have never had a lick of trouble. But I also know a bunch of people who buy them and have cracked slides. Yes indeed, any gun can and will most likely break at some point. Even SV's break but their owners are not likely to discuss it publicly after spending that kind of money!

3djedi Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Sad day for all the ck fanboys! Tell me again how much better they are than a sti? LmfaoYeah yeah..... CK got a bad batch of parts from a vendor. It happens. But he is standing behind the gun and is fixing it. I will say CK has been EXCELLENT in answering every question. I've been using the messenger function on Facebook to communicate with CK. I have no idea whom I'm speaking with (I suspect it's Bobby but I don't know) but they have been extremely helpful and respond very quickly. I was shooting questions all the way up to midnight last night and was getting responses within minutes. I don't think you can ask for any better than that.I'm quite satisfied at this point with CK. Although it is frustrating having a cracked slide on a new gun I understand things like this happen from time to time and was really beyond the control of CK. All that matters is that they are going to fix it no questions asked. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably talking to Bobby but I have also talked to Matt very late at night as well when I had gun problems. Both are top notch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM83 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 This look like the beginning of a crack around the ejection port? It continues up the slide, over the ejection port, and back down the other side a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
