Bought my 995ts carbine 4 days ago. Brought it to the range today for first time shooting it and after 70 rounds (using 1 magazine) i could not get the action to feed the first round into the chamber I had to guide with some force. Bullets were remington 9mm fmj..some rounds jammed up some jammed down..ONLY ON FIRST ROUND WAS THE FAILURE..sounds like mag issue correct? (Using the Mag that was in the box) purchased gun brand new no previous owner.. Any thoughts?
Kinda disappointed...loved the way it shoots tho

Got my rifle back today from MOM who swapped out my mag and gave me an additional one for free. I loaded both mags with ten rounds each of the remmington ammo that i had the problem with and pulled the charging handle back and released it and the problem is solved!! Repeated 12 times with each new mag. I am 100 percent confident that it was a mag related issue. The mags MOM sent me look very similar but seem to be a tad different then the one that came with the gun when i bought it around the loading area.

I want to thank you all for helping me with this issue.

When I first got my C9, it was picky about the brand of ammunition. It had the same problem, not feeding the first round. After a proper break-in of about 500 rnds, it works with anything. There hasn't been any issue with my 995TS.

I've heard before that you shouldn't judge a firearm until it has about 500 rounds through the chamber.

I just got mine yesterday and have the same issue. Haven't been to the range yet. I noticed if I goosed the bottom of the mag with my pinky while charging it, it would chamber the round. The mag is fully inserted but there seems to be a little wiggle in the mag bottom. I just ordered 2 more mags from hp. Hopefully they function properly. Very frustrating.

It is dangerous to cycle live rounds with this carbine. I could go off on you. Beware!

Now, load that magazine, being certain each round is seated against the rear of the mag. Then, rap the magazine in the palm of your hand or on a table top to drive the rounds solid against the back of that mag.

Leave mag fully loaded until you go to the range. Keep it fully loaded for a few days if you can. I suggest using fmj ammo for break in. Hollow points can be finicky with some of these.

None of my HP's are loaded. AR15, AR47, lots of pistola's. I have yet to fire my Mossy pump. It isn't loaded either.

I have a 16-channel interior/exterior camera system on a 40" monitor in the bedroom that sends motion alerts with pictures to my phone and have audible alarms on the doors. I've got time to decide what I'm bringing to the fight.

I live in the country. There's also a .22 cricket behind the door. I grabbed that more often than not to keep the skunks out of the chicken coop.

WOW !! Are you guys getting ready for a Zombie Apocalyptic Attack ?? LOL
I live withing city limits, I have no cameras, but I have a BFD, a XD 45acp Tactical on my nightstand and a "Shockwave" standing next to it.
The wife has her favorite XD (40S&W Service) on her nightstand, so if somebody can pass the BFD, and the locks, will be received with very special personal attention.

Actually there has been incidents of Glocks going off hand ejecting live ammo. This wasn't what I was looking for. The one I was looking for had a bite sized chunk out of the lower palm.

I'm sorry to disagree, but I don't believe the picture shown on the link, represents the result of an ejection discharge, looks more like a front of the muzzle accidental discharge.
All of the ejection discharges I have seen during my years with firearms have been "delayed discharges" (delayed primer ignition) and most of them happened with bolt action rifles and involved old surplus ammo, I've seen it with Mosin Nagants, Enfields and Mausers.
Blaming a Glock for this accident is plain ludicrous, any pistol or revolver can have a delayed primer ignition.
If ejecting live ammo was as dangerous as shown on the drawing next to the pictures, even not putting your hand over the ejection port would have nasty consequences..
Don't you think ??

Any out of battery discharge is going to have a less than ideal outcome, but trashy is a hardcore foil hatter so he's prone to believe Internet myth and lore. But then again I've seen some crazy ass GSW's over the years so nothing really surprises me anymore.

All handguns have one in the chamber. Always.
Excellent choice, a home invasion defense happens in a matter of seconds, and you cannot waste any time racking slides.
A round in the chamber is a must.[/QUOTE]

All my hammer guns condition 2 and my striker fired safety on.
Don't trust the safety on my 1929 Mastah Blastah and it's got a hairtrigger so that one keeps an empty chamber.
Last time I called 9-11 nobody picked up lol...
In all fairness a deputy did show up like 30min later.

"Hairtriggers" are the main cause for accidental discharges, mostly while pulling the gun out of the holster with the index on the "bang switch".
I Have pictures a LEO friend of mine sent me, of this guy shooting his foot with a 1911 while practicing "fast-draw".
