I've been using auto pistols for ages but can't figure what I've done wrong. I have reassembled seemingly properly yet the guide rod is sticking out beyond the muzzle about 1/4 inch. Huh? How can that be? What have I done wrong? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!
Are you sure the slide is fully in battery? I don't see any way to assemble the gun with the guide rod anywhere but where it belongs. ??? If it still isn't right, maybe you can post a pic.
This is just a wild guess on my part, but is seems that the pressure of the rounds in a full mag pushing up puts a load on the guide rod. I carry mine with a round in the chamber and a full mag. Who could know?
It still shouldn't hang up. Oh, wait. Do all P380 guide rods look like chainsaw carvings or an apprentice's 1st lathe job? : I thought it was just mine... (Before I sanded & polished it, anyway.)
