Leshiy 2 9mm complications

[PasadenaMike]

So I’m very familiar with the L2 platform. I’m aware of its quirks. The 9mm has humbled me because if you thought operating an L2 was like driving stick shift then make the L2-9 driving stick shift double clutching a semi. The gun is extremely picky in how it’s loaded ,or else it’ll go into weird mode where you can hear “thud thud thud” pulling the trigger however it sounds like a spit wad. Pellets aren’t flying and magazine isn’t turning however it’s able to partially open the valve. I did all the basic checks before sending it in following videos made by Edgun , short of taking it apart to not void the warranty because I like warranty. Edgun west shot the beast about 200 rounds without any issues (of course) . I’m thinking whatever im doing during the pellet loading procedure is causing issues. What Edgun west said to load the magazine and just smack the magazine once to kinda seat the pellets. I’ve been seating them by smacking the mag 15 times lol. I’ve tried Hades, JSB 81 and FX 81 domes. The hades gave the least issues . I’ll probably go pick it up in person and get a demo.

Having owned one, I felt your pain. Pellets must be seated extra deep and anything in the way of the magnetic retaining ring (even lead flakes from the edges coming off the deeply seated pellets) can end in frustration.

Finding the right ammo to feed the .357 was what cased me to punt and trade it for a L2 in .30. I have zero issues since.

It was a serious shame that I couldn’t really enjoy the sewing machine like reliability I expected.

@PasadenaMike, are you going to keep it? Or, are you going with a different cakiber as did @Rootdude …?

I’m sticking with the beast. Wyatt at Edgun west showed me the secret loading technique. The gun is too much fun and it’s only 1/500 run with the sub moa. Maybe I’ll make a video of the technique so others can learn.

My .30 had an issue with hades but all was solved by searing them. .177-.25 no problem runs like a sewing machine !

Yes, the “slap and tickle” loading technique… to get it to perform…

Yes lol but I’m willing to do it because it’s such a bad a$$ gun. The thump is an 11 on critters

Slap, tickle and thump…? Shoot them critters in da rump… could be a rap song… Looking forward to an after action report on one of your smack down safaris with your 9 milli L2…

I’ve already taken some ground squirrels just couldn’t get them but they were clearly expired where they got smashed. I’m not walking around thick brush too many snakes

How fast are people pushing 81gr pellets out of the L2? I imagine it's like launching rocks out of it.

Actually it’s a pretty straight shooter at 35 yards or so which is what I shoot. It’s nothing like a sidewinders power output but it’s fun

 

[PasadenaMike]

Haha $3000 slingshot

It’s listed as a parts gun if anyone wants it. It’s still messing up. Edgun says it’s user error. I doubt it when I have 4 other L2s and they all work fine.

Will Edgun make it right? Is the gun under warranty? You have been a loyal user and proponent of the brand and they’re blaming “you” for “their” faulty PCP? Can you trade it in for a smaller caliber? “3K Slingshot”…

They say to bring it in and show them what I’m doing but honestly it shouldn’t be any different from 4 of my other L2s. I’m done and I’m willing to take a loss just to no deal with it. Edgun west is fired sorry. These are the times when it’s time to shine and total fail

Wait....whaaaa that's a short life span?! That's mighty fishy esp since they know you own all the others? It's your .30 that has the sub moa barrel right? It's a good platform in my mind but as @MountainSportAirguns mentioned she no go in .35....my thoughts as well

The new 9mm has the sub moa. I hate doing this but I’m literally like their #1 customer and this is what’s happened

 

[PasadenaMike]

I can be the spokesman for Edgun lol

 

[Woogie_man]

Have you tried a different barrel in the rifle? Could it be something with the leade or something in the barrel?

Seems odd that this one is giving you fits, though I am really considering taking it off your hands to play with
