Recently I purchased a new HK P30SK. I was checking the function today before I take it to the range eventually, but when I tried to cycle ammo through it, the first type I tried, Fiocchi JHP, stuck and wouldn't even let me move the slide back. I had to force the slide back while not ejecting the round to remove the slide and barrel, then use pliers to remove the stuck round.
Upon inspection I noticed the bullet had slight marking from the rifling. This ammo has worked in my other 9mm HK USPs fine before.
I tried inserting two other types of ammo into the chamber. IMI JHP sticks slightly, but with no issues extracting and Winchester FMJ will freely slide in and fall out with no issue.
I feel this is likely the bullet type causing the issue (Hornady XTP in the Fiocchi ammo), but I would have thought that factory ammo should be fine to use. I emailed HK to make sure there was nothing wrong with the barrel.
Has anyone else had any issues similar to this? Depending on what HK says, I guess I should just plan to use ammo that won't stick into the rifling while chambered.
