yeah i guess im calling BS on this one. the firing pin would have had to have rusted fast in place or what ever. meh id NEVER clip carry anyways so not a issue for me.

Being a striker fired pistol I doubt that sweat would freeze up the firing pin. Not unless the guy was literally swimming in sweat.

Shooting it with excess lube in the firing pin channel and not cleaning it out afterward. Now that can hang up a striker fired pistol.

yup I found early on why I was having so many problems with the SE9c..of course it was like Feb when I got it but I HAD to give it a QUICK cleaning and get it to the range..on a 30 degree day I was getting light strikes and such with WWB(mysteriously everything else in over 150 rounds that day worked except WWB. Well when i got it home I thought...hmmm I never checked out that striker area..it had a bunch of crap in there and what looked like "cosmoline" type crap..im sure that+30 degree weather= problems..cleaned that up and in 1500 rounds since then never a stoppage for any reason.

I don't get it...

I come from the days of "wooden ships and iron men".

We carried pistols of blued steel and wooden grips.

I carried just such a weapon for nearly 30 years, from triple digits to below zero.

From sand storm to down pours of rain, to snow storms etc..

All we did was take care of our pistols.

A wipe down with an oily rag at the end of shift, or an occasional cleaning.

We had no such problems...

Now, it simply seems that asking moderate and reasonable care is asking too much...

I just don't get it.

Lol its laziness and it seems inherent these days..Think of the people that instead of wiping down and or cleaning a gun after a session just leave it for later or only clean every 3rd range session..just pure laziness IMO.

And on this very board and I will save the person who said this the embarrassment of not naming him or her..but in one of those.. How often do you clean you gun threads they answered something to the effect..when it looks dirty or after every 300 rounds or a certain amount of time...I just had to laugh a bit...then a week or so later same person is asking a question about why he is having problems with his guns not working right lol.
