Last range session sent 200 rounds through my EMP (about 2k total now). After this last trip, the slide is difficult to remove/reinstall. It didn't cause any malfunctions at the range, but it definitely could if left unchecked.
It seems like the top of the ejector is too high, causing it to rub in the ejector channel in the slide. I know EMPs ejectors are glued and complaints of ejector problems SA will pin them. Is there any way to tell if this is the issue? I can't wiggle the ejector or even perceptibly move it pressing on it. Albeit, not sure what else it could be. The face of the ejector is not deformed or bent that I can tell.
My front Trijicon sight post lamp has failed for the 2nd time (lamp fell out). The first time it just stopped lighting up. So, it's definitely going back to SA. However, I want to be sure of the fault before I send it back to make sure it was properly fixed. Ostensibly I (or SA) could "fix" this by just sanding down the top of the ejector, but that doesn't seem like the proper route for an ejector that used to work properly.
Some photos:
Top of the ejector hits the slide when attempting to install slide on frame. You can still do it, but you have to force the slide on.
Once the slide is installed, it's at this point moving forward where the slide starts to bind.
Picture of the ejector from the side. Doesn't look like the ejector's bent out of shape, but maybe the gap between the ejector and frame has increased?
