PM45....ported?

[PaiN]

Well, that was 130+ mixed rounds through tonight, more AE, some Blazer, the Nutmeg reloads and a handful of Golden Saber....not a single issue from the PM45, weird but its running perfectly.
Who knows? Maybe the pistol was sitting for a very long time with all that oil and gummed up, just needed to be run out some to get its stride back
I dried it out completely with Gun Scrubber and did a sensible cleaning & lube before I went out tonight. I'm very happy its running, my confidence is back for this PM45 a few more solid range sessions and it'll go on EDC duty.

not only good news but great news. welcome back to the fold. damn strange though ain't it?? sometimes patience is just true "virurte" . Bawanna told me that awhile back. Have no idea what he meant by that either as we were merely chatting about liking apple pie... He is as strange as ur 45 comgin back to life again...

You didnt clean or lube at all when you first got it. I think you said it was clean and oily. But you could very well be right and maybe it was gummed or varnished up. I wonder if the shop cleaned it during their inspection prior to them shooting it.
No matter, long as it runs and your happy so I'm happy too.

The shop sells them as they get them(I asked) after a brief inspection. I, of course, took it down when I first got it home but the gun was so clean and wet I left it alone.
Looks like I'm good to go on this, I'll update if anything changes.

I really think that as a general rule, with a new or used gun (heck, with used ESPECIALLY), take the gun apart and clean off whatever crap is on there. Chances are you're not using the same oil/lube anyway, so why fire a gun one way if in future you're going to fire it another way? (i.e. with different lubes/oils). Anyway, very glad your PM is working for you, now!

I think jsome of these gun companies ship some of their guns "wet". They have no clue as to how long that gun might sit in a box in a dark maybe cold/hot room. IO used todisplay my handguns in my shop in a glass shelved case and it was just so so common to pick up a gun toshow someone and there was oil on the galss, and we always wipede everynew gun with a silicone cloth before putting out on display. Oil is gonna run, u may not see it but it is there..

My new PM9 was wrapped in a heavy plastic bag with puddles of oil in it (all inside the case). I wouldn't dared to shoot it that way as I'd have oil all over me. Breaking it down there was quite a bit of thicker stuff too either heavy oil or grease, don't recall. It reminded me of the cosmoline wrap on new military guns, only much easier to clean.

My PMK9 was dry as a bone, no plastic bag, just brown paper. My P380 was the same way.
