Hi all -
I have an Astra A-75 with some "issues" that maybe you could help me with.
About 50% of the time, after firing, the slide doesn't return to battery. A round will be chambered, but I have to manually push the slide forward about 1/8th of an inch to shoot the next round. [Fortunately, the hammer won't fall without the slide all the way forward.
]
I changed the recoil spring with one from Wolff, but obviously that isn't working. I suspect the Wolff spring to be "one size fits all" as they don't differentiate between 9 mm, 40 S&W and 45 ACP when ordering. BTW - they rate the spring at 13 pounds.
With the barrel, recoil spring, rod and slide stop removed, the slide moves quite freely along the frame.
Any input would be appreciated as I can't currently trust this pistol for CCW, and darnit, that's just not right.
Thanks,
Charlie
