I’ll preface this by saying I’m a new shooter, so I’m still getting comfortable with how different guns work. But I experienced something yesterday I wanted to ask about.
I’m trying out various models of 9mm’s - mostly full to compact (not planning on carrying at this time) - to see what works well for me. So I was at the range yesterday and rented a VP9. I liked it a lot and shot it quite well. But I noticed that each time I inserted a loaded magazine and racked, the slide did not close all the way. It was about 1” or so short. It was simple to close the slide the rest of the way, but it seems like that should happen naturally as part of racking (no other gun I’ve used has experienced this). I had no issues shooting, loading or anything. Other than the slide not closing that first time, it performed flawlessly.
So my question is: is this a problem with the gun itself? Perhaps it’s in need of cleaning? Or did I not rack it with enough force to get the spring compressed enough?
Thanks...
