Living In A Bizarro World
So I went shooting today with a new Dan Wesson Specialist for the first time. The weapon shot accurate as hell and didn’t have any malfunctions. That said, here is what happened:
1. I loaded a full magazine into a closed slide, then pulled back the slide, released, and it loaded fine.
2. After firing the 8 shots, the slide locks open. All normal so far.
3. I insert a full magazine and go to slingshot the slide, but the slide doesn’t budge at all.
4. In order to get the gun into battery I hade to release the slide stop, which worked fine.
Is this normal? Is it a break-in item, or should I contact Dan Wesson?
I shot numerous other new 1911’s (including another Dan Wesson) and was able to slingshot off of an open slide.
