CF-98 Reliability Issue

It's not the official sidearm. It's the export version of it in a different calibre.

so export version should be even better quality. I wish the Chinese PLA many misfeeds, misfires and general malfunctions in years to come.

Mines the most reliable pistol I’ve had lol

so this is official Chinese army side arm? Cool. When our troops ever meet them in battle, we win as the Chinese solders will constantly need to clear misfeeds, failure to fire, extract and all other general malfunctions due to unreliable firearms. Some things made in China should stay in China.

We will be in the same boat with worn out hi-powers. Lol

Sound like your recoil spring is too heavy. Cut off a few coils and try again.

Thank you! I actually spoke with my gunsmith yesterday and he suggested the same.

That's the stated barrel life straight from Norinco. Seems incredibly short...

From what i've seen the barrel is incredibly thin too.

I think that has something to do with China's military theory that they inherited from the Soviet Union... In wartime, most guns are lost or destroyed before they reach the designed service life. Cheap to mass-produce becomes one of the most important design criteria.
