Can anyone help me diagnose my Staccato P Duo? Specifically, I'm having a lot of FTE's with the occasional double feed. I've having these issues with or without a RMR mounted. The pistol is at 852 rounds now and it's getting worse, not better.
Specifically, I'm wanting to know if your extractor keeps a case flat against the breech face on a working model? Mine has a lot of play and the case can move out far enough to see daylight between the case head and the breech face. (see attached photo).
Things I've done:
- Clean 5 times, trying two different lubes. ALG Purple Juice and Slip 2000
- Ordered 2 new magazines to rule my magazines out.
- Tried the following ammo: Speer Lawman 147gr, S&B 115gr, Speer Gold Dots both 124gr and 147gr.
- Increased and decreased extractor tension while at the range trying different tensions, but receiving a malfunction on all of them.
- Opened a warranty case with STI. After 4 days of no response, I called them and was told I'd be called back in a few minutes. That never happened. I'll follow up with them again Monday, but maybe there's something that's easy here that I don't know about in my ignorance.
The accuracy and performance of this handgun seems amazing, but it's gotta be reliable for me to keep it. Any ideas? I'm not a 1911 guy, so I'm out of ideas here.
take it to a gunsmith who can tinker around with it or follow up with the manufacturer..STI rep is on this site maybe he can help..
