I have a relatively new pt 24/7 pro c ds ....probably put 800 or so rounds through it so far. Only actually jammed on me once, but lightstruck (i think that's the proper term) a lot the first 200 or so which i believe was due to not cleaning the factory grease out and having the extractor all gummed up and what not....anyway it really doesn't do that anymore. Took it to the range tonight and did my usual ritual of firing off the hollow point that's already chambered to make sure it goes and doesn't jam in the event of an SHTF situation. This time it was decocked when I drew it and pulled the trigger. But it didn't go off...made the clicking sound like when you dry fire but nothing. Obviously this is a MAJOR problem. I unchambered it, reloaded it with the same hollow point in the chamber and it fired off just fine. Put 200 FMJs through it without a single problem. Then when it was time to be done, I put the hollow points back in and tried to fire one just for kicks. Decocked it, to simulate the same situation and once again i pulled the trigger and it just clicked. This time i didn't unload it; I just pulled back the slide slightly to recock it and it fired off just fine.
Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?? I blasted some break free solvent (powder blast) down the firing pin as i was cleaning it tonight afterwards. I know that the last time i cleaned it i put on a little more oil than normal, but still wiped it all down and left virtually no standing oil anywhere. But obviously this is a major concern, as obviously you can't have it failing to fire the one time you need it. All suggestions and ideas are much appreciated.
