First off, awesome gun. 213 rounds, and here's the story (the questions are at the end):
50 115 UMC: 0 problems
50 147 AE: 0 problems
13 124 GS HP: 0 problems
50 115 WWB: 0 problems
50 115 Federal: 1 FTF on round 189 (my fault I'm guessing).
The 1 FTF/early lock back was the second round in my 7-round mag, and my money's on a limp wrist at that point. I released the slide and we were back in business. By the time I was on the WWB my wrist was starting to bug me, but I firmed it up and got through the rest of the session just fine.
It shot great, though. Fantastic from 3-10 yards, and 15 is conceivable at my level of expertise. I was surprised how easy it was to just shoot away. If I'd put 213 rounds through my LCP or SP101 I'd be crying right now - and I mean weeping like a little girl. There'd be snot all over my keyboard. For real.
Alright, so question time:
1. For some reason ONE of my 6-round mags nosedives ONLY on the very first round SOMETIMES. It's the strangest thing - I drop the slide and it'll hang up. Did it on all the ammo at least once (granted I didn't use it for the GS HPs). Any ideas what the problem there would be?
2. I'm kicking myself for never loading and shooting a +1 mag to see if there'd be any problems with carrying 6+1. Has anyone had a problem with shooting at the range with a 6+1 or 7+1 load? Has anyone even tried it?
