Recently, I got a new 24/7 G2 9mm. This is my first gun, ever, so I am not an expert in any way. Before the first shots, I broke it down to clean and lube, no problems breaking down. The first issue came up with reassembly. When trying to put the recoil spring back in, it just didn't want to push in so it could lock in. I took it out, verified the spring would move, and it did. Trying to put it back in, still had the same problem. Finally, after a little manipulation, it went in. Seems that it has to be in a perfect position to push in. Is this common or is there an issue. Also, dont know if it is related, but when I took it for the first fire, the first 3-4 round went out fine, but like the 4th or 5th would not completely feed (slide was about 98% forward, but not completly forward, could push it the rest of the way with my thumb). Tried both mags, with similar results, and even tried different ammo. Went home, cleaned, inspected and tried again another day. Initally had the same issue. I was advised to check my grip, and went through a good number of rounds with no issue, but felt like I was using a death grip. Could this be related to the spring or something else, or am I just limp wristing it? Thanks for your feedback.
