Thank you for the replies.

I just emailed Global Ordnance to see if I can purchase a recoil spring from them, the guide rod in this pistol is metal.
Hopefully this fixes the issue and I can return to enjoying the gun.

Gunsmithing / Grand Power P40 - FTF
April 16 2021 12:42:06 AM MDT
Hello,

I purchased a P40 in 2018 and hadn't had any trouble with it until a few months ago.
I've put at least 500 rounds through it and recently started having FTF's.

The round is partially loaded into the chamber, it does this 1-2 times a mag, often on the last round.
It first happened on some cheap ammo and continues to happen with Sig Elite and Underwood Hardcast and these are the only ammo I have currently.

I've cleaned it thoroughly, lubed it paying attention to the cam, barrel, space behind the feed ramp and rails.
I have 5 mags, and the FTF occurs with each.

Any P40 owners have any insight?  Thank you.

Hello,
I'm really enjoying the P40.

Has anyone tried a red dot on one of these yet?  I have a Burris Fastfire3 sitting in my garage that was free, wouldn't mind trying it on this pistol if I could find a mounting plate.  Is the rear sight dovetail a standard type or would it have to be custom piece?  Forgive my ignorance, I don't know anything about handgun sights.
