The problem didn’t happen with the VP9SK, and as for limp wristing, well…I doubt it but hey, there may have been a moment…who knows
? So do you think that I need to switch up rods and springs? I think I will run the rest of it through the VP9s and stick to American Eagle after that. I suppose I should spread my wings and get into some other forums. The thing is though…I trust you guys.

That’s what makes this forum so good. A lot of expertise on a lot of platforms and a decidedly low percentage of fanboys who will insist any malfunction is self induced, as opposed to being the gun (looking at you HKPro). Like I said, run some different ammo through the PDP. You have the 5in h, correct? Try and eliminate ammo before you go down the recoil rod rabbit hole. If you can find NATO, try and run a couple of boxes through your PDP. I’m actually picking up a case this weekend, I shoot it almost exclusively. Federal 124 is pretty solid, as is 124 Speer Lawman.The problem didn’t happen with the VP9SK, and as for limp wristing, well…I doubt it but hey, there may have been a moment…who knows
Just me personally, that plastic rod would have to go. Not that I think that had anything to do with it. I also don't think it was limp wristing. My money is on the ammo. And I say that as a guy who uses that ammo a lot and never had any issues with it. Even Federal can let a dud slip through. Yeah, Hans is right, it isn't top quality as far as the plating and ( as with ANY ammo) repeatedly racking it and unloading it could cause bullet set back, maybe more easily since the crimp is subpar or whatever, but the fact is I go through stupid amounts of ammo and I'm not looking for top quality in blaster ammo. As long as it works and hits in the same place my HST does I'm happy.
Me either. I was under the impression it was primarily involving a specific gun or guns. I thought it was a Glock, but I don't recall now.
Mine is the 4in compact. I'm just going to carry on as per normal. A lot of what you guys are saying makes sense, and the thing with the crimp does too. I'll run my Federal through it. Last thing I need is a new rabbit hole, if you get my meaning...
Don't let these cretins scare you off the Blazer if you can get good deals on it. Remember, we are men. Our tendency is to overthink every stupid detail of whatever hobby we have and constantly have a reason to upgrade, change or buy something else.Mine is the 4in compact.

Lol! I'm not worried about running it. My hunch is that it was a dud in the box..short, not in tolerance, which seems to me the consensus here. Now that this has happened to me, it may not ever happen again but now I know how to clear it and probably what caused it. I appreciate all the feedback here because I learn from itDon't let these cretins scare you off the Blazer if you can get good deals on it. Remember, we are men.

I have 4 9mm handguns in regular rotation. The vast majority of my 9mm ammo is either Blazer Brass or Sellior and Bellot. I don't keep exact records on how much I go through, but 1000 rounds a month might be an average. Some months it's a lot more than that.“Remember we are men.”
I’ve been using a lot (~2k rounds) of BB in 3 different guns lately without any issues. I’ll still buy/use it. I haven’t had any failures (yet).
I run Blazer Brass 124gr
Exactly.
Nothing inherently wrong with Blazer, I’ve shot a bunch because it was cheap. My only point was that it is NOT crimped. Normally not a problem (unless you’re shoring a Bond Bullpup, in which case you’ll see a kinetic bullet puller workDon't let these cretins scare you off the Blazer if you can get good deals on it.

Agree
My sister could make my5in Prodigy jam instantly even though three others were firing it at the same session successfully. My sister is a cowboy action shooter and I think she just couldn't find the right grip on the Prodigy.
I wish I had a gun for every guitar, pickup, amp, effects pedal, etc that I've bought. Oh, what a minute, I think I got that round the wrong way.Don't let these cretins scare you off the Blazer if you can get good deals on it. Remember, we are men.
