Bought a new P-3AT (H1Xxx). Did a F&B. Took it to the range. Only fired a few rounds when the slide wouldn't slide home. Huh?
Got it home and examined it. It seems that the Extractor Pin (part 184) was sticking out ever so slightly into the interior of the slide, causing it to score the frame where it came into contact. It was this that was jamming the slide movement.
What tool do you use to push this pin in or out with? I tried a couple of small tools, but I'm probably not doing it right. The pin wouldn't budge. So, I sanded the sharp edge down a bit, which completely solved the problem. I took it to the range again and had nary a problem.
Anybody else experienced this? How do you deal with it (other than the sanding solution)?
