dogdoc Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I have a S&W Model SW9V 9mm. It is probably about 12 years old and hasn't had more than 50 rounds shot thru it--cleaned after each shot. When you break this gun apart (take the barrel part off) it looks exactly like a glock. Here's my problem. The last few times I've shot the gun it jams. The casing gets stuck in the ejection port and jams the gun. Any idea? I've never oiled the gun the action of the gun. I'll take it apart and blow canned air to remove dust. I'm wondering if it needs a light coating of oil or should I just take it to a gunsmith for a thorough cleaning and lubing. thanks todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ronin Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: jamming question.... What position does the case jam in? If the case mouth is facing up your problem could be stove piping due to limp wristing your shots. I am also aware that this pistol, now discontinued I believe, had some jamming issues anyway.

ParrotHead Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: jamming question.... Do you keep the magazine fully loaded all the time? If so, it could be the result of a weaken'd spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Re: jamming question.... There are several things that lead to a gun stove piping the spent case. I'll list them in no particular order. Stuck extractor. If this part isn't free moving it may not hold onto the case rim long enough for the case to hit the ejector. Broken or bent ejector. If the ejector isn't contacting the case head at the right time of the firing cycle the spent case won't clear the guns action while cycling. Recoil spring. If the spring is too heavy and not allowing the slide to move fully rearward this can cause the aforementioned problem. Low powered ammo or poor quality ammo. Pretty much the same effect as the above. Magazine feed lips and or too strong a spring in the magazine. If the magazine is trying to feed a new round too quickly this can slow the speed of the slide enough to cause a malfunction. This all plays into the timing of the firing cycle. Cleanliness of the gun. Sounds like you have this covered. If I were you I would get this gun to a qualified gunsmith and have him give a once over. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christsavedme Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Re: jamming question.... I just bought a Smith and Wesson SW9F.......I got it used for a really good price. After I got home I started researching on it and found alot of mixed emotions with this gun. It is discontinued. Alot of the reviewers love it. But those that didn't said it was inaccurate and jammed. I shot about 100 rounds though it yesterday before I left the store and number one....the accuracy wasn't that bad.......and it didn't jam any. Not saying it won't now that I am home and it is mine. LOL Just thought I would add that in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchased some fresh ammo---shot about 30 rounds today and no jamming----YIPEE.
