chrisstophere Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 My new 9 major gun came with a ball and detent zig racker. It seems to come loose while shooting it. Is there an easy way to increase the hold it has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 When I had that problem I put some heavy grease in the cut. Tightened it up quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hello: Are the recesses in the slide deep enough and in the correct place? You can check it buy measuring them. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it gets put on the ball bearings, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, EricI measured the best I could and they definitely seem correct. One hole does seem not as deep as the other though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should just stay in there so obviously this isn't ideal but....Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a new racker on the way that I can hopefully fit so it is a bit snugger. Know I'll just have to work on getting that loctite out of the dovetail. Hoping some alcohol wipes and toothpicks will get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrowngmc Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Interested to see if the new racker fixed the issue. I’m planning on running a zig on my new build.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing my gunsmith filled just a little too much of the original one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
