well people....it happened at last...my first FTE with my M9....well...actually haven't shot the thing all that much, maybe 600 rd total now...but i finally got an FTE....the first prob ever with that gun. Was shooting 115 grain WWB bulk packs from Wally World. Hot motherbleeping day at the range, was after about 2 hours of rifle shooting (got my Yugo 59/66 SKS out for the first time ever today....damn that is fun to shoot!)...moved over to the 25 yard range....my brother had put about 80 rds through it not prob, i switch off with him, he used my GP100 for a while, while I shot the M9, second round out a 10rd clip....FTE...dropped the mag, kept her pointed down ranger...took a good solid jerk on the slide to pop it open...slamed the mag back in and went back to work...no more probs...
fired another 30 or so rounds before we called it quits....too freaking hot to shoot anymore.....was about 95 with a heat index of about 115 today...drank about 3 cans of soda, and 2 bottles of water in 2 hours, never even had the slightest urge to piss.....sweated all that water out of me....wheew!
still love my M9, but i can no longer call it perfect....ah well....
