Yes, I know the SCCY is a POS. I've been trying to get my wife into guns, and this was the only one she liked for me to buy her (based on looks, of course). I had hoped to make it at least serviceable, upgrading a bunch of parts with M-Carbo stuff (trigger, guide rod/spring, mag release, hammer), polishing feed ramp, etc. I did manage to get about 100 rounds through it, while working on fixing FTE/FTF issues.
On last trip to range, after one round, the slide got stuck in the rearward position. It was extended well beyond the normal position to engage the slide lock, and the front of the slide was gouging into the top of plastic frame. The slide/frame contact causes the slide to get stuck in the over-extended rear position. A bit of force on rear of slide will break it free and allow it to move forward. I checked everything out, put in a different guide rod/spring, but issue consistently happens now.
Does anyone have an idea on what is broken, that allows the slide to over-extend rearward? I'm thinking possibly a slide stop in the fire control unit has broken off. I wanted to try and fix it myself, if possible, before replacing all the upgrade parts with original and sending back to SCCY. Pictures are below.
Thanks!!
