Bought a Mete MC9 for my sister and right away having I’m having this issue that after I rack the slide it fails to return to battery. No, I’m not riding the slide.
Found out lots of people are having this issue, that causes the slide to fail returning to battery every so many rounds, and after some digging the problem seems to be coming from the extraction spring with is putting too much pressure that’s causing the extractor to catch against the round.
So I’m going to jam this clothespin in there to keep the extractor as widen open as it can get for about a week, see if it loosens it up. If not I’ll have to grind about a coil’s worth off the spring.
Shame to have this nagging issue because I really like the little gun, I was able to shoot and hit the whole 12rd clip into a small steel target at 15 yards. Great accuracy for such a little piece.
Something to keep in mind if you’re considering this or other micro 9’s.
