failure to load

Why does anyone need to replace a recoil spring after only 1000 rounds? That's insane.
I'm at 950 with my P45. Nothing but problems from the first day.
I finally shot 100 rounds in a row without a failure to feed or eject. Why should I be happy about that?
That is a disastrous reliability record for ANY manufacturer.

To be fair, I have gotten REALLY good at clearing jams.
I'd recommend this gun to any gun safety instructor who needs to teach his students how to clear a jam.

IMHO what you describe is not a manufacturer's reliability record....it's just one gun's record.

As for when to replace a recoil spring: better to replace it when you encounter problems vs. worrying about round count. Round count can help you anticipate when it might wear out...but if it causes problems sooner, replace it. I also keep a replacement on hand.

I think I might have fixed the problem(s) with my P45. Haven't had any failures of any kind since making these repairs.:001_tt2:
