I've got this 910 I just bought and have been breaking it in. approximately 250 rounds so far, good groups and here comes the "BUT"
out of the 250 rounds, hi cap mags, I've had 1 jam duing the first 100 rounds so I cleaned out the gun. Noticed it had a lot of powder residue and was really black at the feedramp as well as the surrounding area.. (Oh yeah, had two light strikes as well)
So I thought it was just new and not cleaned out. Took it home, field stripped it and gave it a good going over.... I also polished the feedramp using 400 and 600 grit parallel to the barrel axis.
Next 150 rounds... three jams, first jam :banghead: feed ramp was black with residue.... boresnake time...
second jam, bore snake again... third jam... boresnake... all due to feedramp being dirty..... again :banghead:
I had heard about smith being jamomatics but put this off as I had heard the third gen pistols were really good and "reliable" after 250 rounds, this does not seem to be the case...
1. have others experienced this and how were you able to improve the reliability of the darn thing? aside from feedramp polishing....
Also, there are two other things I'd like to get opinions on,
2. Due you normally get a lot of powder residue on the feedramp? What would cause this? Poor Ammo powder?
3. Is it possible that after field stripped, the cartrdge could not seat in the chamber properl causing movement when the round was ignited and thereby blowing powderbackwards toward the firing pin, feed ramp and other areas? If so, how is this fixed?
Appreciate all opinions and thanks in advance.
