With the first 200 rounds I ever shot through it, I got two FTEs/double feeds using Herter FMJ 115g brass ammo (fairly cheap). The next 350 rounds I got three FTEs/double feeds and I used some Fiocci and Federal American Eagle FMJ 115g brass ammo along with the Herter ammo. The failures were with the Herter ammo. So, the next 200 rounds I used nothing but Fiocci and Federal American Eagle and I got one FTE/double feed on round number 197. Very disappointing. By the way I cleaned the gun before I shot it for the first time and I cleaned it after every time I shot it. I want this to be a defensive carry gun but not sure if a 1% or even 1/2% failure rate is acceptable.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14670752883979855263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9038805453913133808.post-43652559647602616062014-10-28T09:34:59.968-07:002014-10-28T09:34:59.968-07:00Yes, excellent information here!

Whenever a friend needs help with a gun-related concept I almost always wind up sending them here to see it explained better then I could.<br /><br />In short; I feel like it wouldn't be right to get so much information and not comment on anythingBoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528265136150104386noreply@blogger.com
