I haven't noticed any issues.

Glad the resource is still available and that knowledgeable folks are checking it regularly if we have any issues arise.

Hmmm.  The forum has been up because I check it most weekdays.

I was assuming lack of interest. 

I have been unable to login for a couple of months now and today no problem.

Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful response, Eric, I really appreciate it!

I had actually stripped, cleaned, and lubed it (and replaced the recoil spring) the day before this happened (and mags had been cleaned since prior outing as well, so I think the issue was probably a bad rack on my part... I will be conscious of that and follow your advice on making sure I release the slide quickly.

Thanks again,
Christina

Hello Christina,

Sounds like you may have taken care of things by servicing your R9. If you used the same ammunition that gave you the problem, put fresh ammunition in your magazine, rack the slide, and see how that runs. Pull the slide back fully and release the slide quickly, don't hold onto it at all. That way you will get the full power of the recoil system to push the round into the chamber. Have you ever cleaned the magazine? If it has been a while, pull the base plate off, and wipe down the inside of the can, the spring, and the follower. Then give it a spray of something like "One Shot" and let that sit for 5 - 10 minutes, wipe it down and then reassemble the magazine. Repeat the loading sequence and see how things go then. I hope these suggestions help with your loading issue.

Please let us know how you make out.

Sincere Respectful Regards,

Eric C. Rohrbaugh
