Again, sorry to hear about your troubles. I'm not sure of the best way to remove your live round, but definitely don't ship it back like that. Surely you can find a good way, or hopefully someone will have a good recommendation.

On the otherhand, I called Springfield today. They received my gun back on July 27th. They said that they called me on August 9th, but didn't leave a message, because my voicemail wasn't set up. So, here we are, 20 days later, and I haven't received an email, or even a letter. If they tried to call me again, I wasn't home when they did, and they didn't have my cell number at the time. So who knows how long it would have been, before I talked to them again, if I hadn't called today??!!

I was told that a few shooters ran over 100 rounds through the gun, and that they could not get the gun to malfunction. Needless to say, no further modifications were made to the gun by them. I let them know that I would be willing to accept the gun back one more time, and that I would try running Winchester white box through it, since that is generally what I plink with, although I haven't ran any of it through the gun yet.

They let me know that if I still wasn't happy with the gun, that we could then talk about replacing the gun, or even exchanging it for something else that I like. I asked if they could possibly smooth the action out some, or lighten the trigger a bit, before sending it back. The representative said that he would have someone look at it, but that it wouldn't be the custom shop. He also informed me that they are on a complete shut-down this week, and that it would be next week before the gun would ship back out.

Again, still playin' the waitin' game...

Good luck to you. It is frustrating, I'm sure.

Sorry to hear for your delays, has to be frustrating. Hopefully it is right when you receive it back.

I stopped at the local gun shop tonight. We went in to the range and he took a rubber hammer, held the slide and tapped on the back of the grip and it dislodged. I said screw it and left it there. They have a master gunsmith there and he is going to go through it and get it right. I don't trust Springfield to fix it right after the hassle you have gone through. I trust Jeff the gunsmith to get it smooth and running like it should. May cost me $50-$75 but it will be worth it

Heck! I've had to do that exact same thing...5 times! Of course, all of my issues were with my own hand loads. Any and all factory ammo has run thru mine (not the CCC model, but the 4" Match Champion) without a hiccup.
The rounds that stuck in my EMP all fit into a go/no-go cartridge checker die, and they all cycled thru any of up to 10 other 9mm pistols. Only the EMP had/has a chamber so tight, that it didn't like any of my correctly (?) sized hand loads. I ended up buying an undersized sizing die...and all my problems went away.
I'm glad you got yours freed up. I think that the chambers are too tight on these models. Your smith should figure that out and get you running perfectly.

Any of the rounds hand loads? I have had the failure to go into battery on several occasions. Mine is the non CCC, the EMP 4 Lightweight Champion. I have had some serious jam-ups with cases that were not actually full length sized.
If this is not the case, proceed with the advice given above.
