Hey guys,
New to the trader, anyways I owned a SCCY CPX2 about a year ago, I sold it to make up the difference on a Glock 22. A brand new never fired Gen 4 for $500. The only issue I had with the CPX2 was a broken ejector pin. It was a 10 day turn around mailing it to SCCY, I'm pretty sure it was steel cased ammo that did it. Lesson learned. I decided to buy a CPX 1 I ran across in a pawn shop. $250 out the door. Looked brand new, not a scratch on it. I should've cleaned it first, but, new toy, I stopped by the in laws and fired a few magazines out of it. One failure to eject. So after that, I rapid fired a couple of magazines with no problem. I went home and cleaned it, oiled it, magizines and all, the first round I tried to chamber hung up. I had to bump the slide to chamber the round. So I tried racking the rounds out, every round hung up, I had to bump the slide to get it to chamber the next round every time. I tried the other magazine and it only hung up once. After some research I found that folks are thinking it's the magazines. From my experience this made sense. So I tried something. The lips at the top of the magazine seemed a little sharp. If you pressed the back of the round with your thumb it seemed to drag on those lips. So I took apart the magazine and polished the sharp edges with a scotch Brite pad. It seems to have solved the failure to feed issue. I can rack jacketed hollow points, smooth as can be magazine after magazine with no hang ups. Thought I would share in case someone else encountered this issue.
