New to this forum. TP9SFx bought brand new 2/19/2024. Went to sight and break in and got terrible FTE and or stovepipe from the first shot. Gun was cleaned prior to loading. Outer part of the barrel had sticky stuff on it, cleaned with solvent inside and out. Lubed gun as per Canik handbook. Ammo was stock Remington 115 gr 9mm and Blazer 115 gr . Magazines were stock Canik 18 round loaded with 17 rounds.
It did this with both 18 shot magazines. Actually had difficulty getting some of the jams cleared. On the very first fire the gun fired but the slide never worked back and forth? I had to manually rack it and sure enough the spent round was still in there. Then I had to rack it again to get a new round in.
When it jammed for FTE, the spent round was on top of the new round coming in and jammed it as well as damaging the bullet head of the new round. It did this repeatedly for the rest of the session before i got black flagged on the range....
When it fired the gun was very accurate at 15 Ft. Dead center so that was the upside along with the easy slide removal. ( I have owned a Glock 17 Gen 4 for 8 years and that is not so easy to get the slide off )
I have read how this could be a symptom of the RSA needing work or replacing or that the ramp for the barrell needs work to have the right angle. I also read about using different barrells and optimizing the magazines ( not sure how to do that...) I also read that I should be shooting 124 gr FMJ Nato round x 350 to break this gun in. IIRC There is nothing in the Canik hand book about break-in.
So I am asking what i should start to to solve this. I emailed Canik but have heard nothing ( I gather from here and other forums their support is slow and weak. )
My plan...
1. attempt to shoot 2 box of 124 gr FMJ NATO thru the gun to see if it helps.
2. Wait to see what Canik says
3. Try different magazines
4. Get you guys recommend for the RSA if needed
5. buy a better barrell use some black sharpie marker to see where the bullet nose is landing.
LMK guys Please help !!!!!
PS i ran the damaged rounds thru my Glock 17 Gen 4 and every one worked flawlessly.. LOL
