SW Competitor HD issues

I see in your original post that you’re using remanufactured ammunition. It’s barely ejecting here. Have you tried with factory ammunition?

My first thought was “what ammo are you using? Cuz shitty ammo can make a great gun not work”

[u/kirbymaster10 → u/CptMaxPower]

I’ve used thousands of this reman stuff on other guns so I didn’t think it would be an issue. Even had like 135PF. This was also happening occasionally with blazer 115. I have some competition 147 and 124gr stuff too but haven’t tried

You can see in your own footage that the ejection is erratic and weak. I’d say look at the ejector or extractor, but the footage really seems to show the pistol barely cycling.

Junk ammo.

I had the same problem with what I thought was good competition ammo. When I switched to factory ammo, I had no issues. It has gradually gotten better with the competition stuff as the recoil spring has gotten use, but it just doesn’t have the juice to cycle.

Try a new recoil spring and hotter ammo. The ejection pattern sucks. Its like it barely has enough to cycle.

Did you have it portrd by chance?

Bone stock except for the optic

Id try new springs first.

Was it double feeds? If so I had a similar issue. I cleaned the feed ramp and works great again. I think the feed ramp comes polished from the factory, and just needs to be cleaned more.

[u/kirbymaster10 → u/zadkincco]

I did get some double feeds! Maybe I’ll polish it up and see what’s up

[u/zadkincco → u/kirbymaster10]

Let me know if that works, I’m interested if that works. I had about 1,300 rds and the would get double feeds every once in a while.

On the plus side at least you are getting plenty of malfunction clearance practice.
