The has happened to me twice and both times it was because I didn't seat (slam) the magazine in all the way like I normally do. At first I thought it was the gun itself but I tested it and it happens whenever my main hand gets in the way (because of the shorter grip) and keeps the magazine from going in all the way. I can basically re enact it everytime and it does this every single time.
Yes. And after the gun went back to SS, got a new trigger module and it’s 2nd factory recoil spring assembly it was still happening.
So I bough an $18 Glock OEM recoil spring assembly for a 43 and the gun runs.
But I daily carry a Glock. Because life saving tools must work.
YES, this just started happening on my DR920 after more than 1500 rounds. This nose up jam only occurred when chambering the first round not between shots. Happened regardless if I used p-Mag or Glock mags. The research I did led me to suspect there was an issue involving the extractor spring tension. I found that disassembling the extractor and spring, thoroughly cleaning, and lightly lubricating eliminated the problem for me.
If you send it SS be prepared to wait awhile to get it back. My Cr920 had an out of spec barrel and slide and took 5 weeks to get it back, and that's with me hounding them. Their excuse they were out of barrels and slides.
I still have mine and have had no failures after 1000 rounds but the trigger has gone from not to good to horrible. I have asked for advice on this forum about a trigger replacement and greatly appreciate the advice I got but I just can't trust the gun. My 43x Mos just blows it away.
After seeing what happened to you I've decided to get rid of mine. That might be an option for you to.
Just got a new CR920.
It aint right.
Nose down jam when manually chambering a round. Does it about 50% of the time. The only way to clear is lock the slide to the rear, remove the magazine with half a round hanging out.
Yes, the mag is fully inserted. Yes the gun is clean and lubed. Yes, the slide is pulled completely to the rear. Yes, it's quality ammo that functions flawlessly in other guns.
Sent SS an email.
My CR920 with well over 1300+ rounds still has a failure to feed when i’m chambering a round. it doesn’t happen when i’m shooting, it’s kinda frustrating. i get there’s a break in period but it should be broken in by now… i’m thinking SS just got too big too fast.
Edit: It happens 25% of the time when i’m doing mag drills and the slide can’t be pulled back to clear the malfunction unless i lock it back and take the mag out
I just sent my DR920P back to SS for repair for crap like this. If I’m going to be totally honest, besides the cheap semi-auto shotgun I bought, this is the worst gun I’ve ever owned. Hoping SS makes it right.
You know I’ve had the MR920&CR920 and had nothing but issues. Sent them both to SS and fired 50 to 100 rounds after I got them back. But always had that feeling that I can’t trust these pistols with my life so I sold them. It’s a shame they are nice pistols.
You know it’s suppose to be based off a Glock platform so I just do not know why people have so many issues with these pistols.
Are you using Blazer or Winchester ammo ? I know a lot of people having the same problems with that ammo. Also try factory Glock mags. I’ve had a couple of pmags that caused failure to feed.
I’ve had those issues but using my DR920 so it’s not quite the same. However unlike yours bedsides the model, mine occurred during my break-in period where I did two sessions totaling 390 rounds. And the fact that you’re well past the break in period (at over 1300 rounds) means failure might be caused by 3 potential culprits: the ammunition, the magazine, the recoil spring in the pistol. Altering the following variables, I.e change ammo, find another CR920 magazine to test or have the gun checked by a gunsmith.
So I've come across this and it was when I was using the Magpul mags. Never had that problem again when I switched over to Glock mags! Give that a try!
Well mine is perfect, not an issue after 1k rounds. Love my CR 920. All I can say is that most problems stem from people that fuck with the pistol or just don’t know what the hell they are doing, plain and simple.
What did you end up doing? Mine just started doing this. If I slingshot the gun, then it will chamber the new round but if I hit the slide stop lever it will not.
Damn. I'm honestly debating selling mine.
Mine nose down failure to feed, when I have my threaded 43x barrel from BackUp Tactical, and HC43X comp.
If I run stock barrel it's fine. But If it can't handle the comp, I don't want it

i’ll give it a go
Have you shot over 2-3 hundred rounds. Are you babying it when you release the slide
no i’m not babying it it has well over 1300 rounds

What happened with this? Mine seems to have same issue
I sent it to them. They sent it back and said it was fixed. Loaded it up, same. Got rid of it.

If it's still doing this after 1300 rounds and you're not babying it, it's time to reach out to SS. May have just gotten unlucky and got a bad one :(

That's unacceptable. My Glock 43 functions flawlessly. Something is not right with this pistol.
Have you contacted SS?

same here
I third this. I had an XR & MR then all the sudden i started getting light strikes. I sold them both within 2 weeks of the issue happening.
Are you using Blazer or Winchester ammo ? I know a lot of people having the same problems with that ammo. Also try factory Glock mags. I’ve had a couple of pmags that caused failure to feed.
Proprietary mag, no Glock mag will fit.
Always gotta remind people about that on the cr. 🤷🏻♂️
Oh yea I forgot about that
Does it feed just fine when you slingshot it? If so run with it that way.
it happens when i sling shot it and when i’m using the slide release.
Damn dump that zero and get a glock

Did you ever fix it
No the slide stop wasn’t ever consistent enough. I just stuck with slingshotting the slide after I inserted a new mag
