Just got back from the range trying out Clays in the CW9. The low load was sweet to shoot but would not lock the slide open on the last round. Next up bit harsher and only sometimes locked the slide back. Finished up with the 4 grain Bullseye. Sweet as usual. Don't know why I keep experimenting.

Well on to the Jimanez. Two guys taking turns in the next lane with a 380 that won't lock open and having a ***** of a time with the pistol. Of course I've got to put in my 2 cents. Turns out it is a Jimanez.

I know that they are inexpensive but heck, I'm sure they came with a manual (that was nor read or even brought to the range). Helped them out a bit on loading and making sure the gun was unloaded. Turns out unloading a round from the breech is darn near impossible. Anyway, I fired it and I now feel safer from people that buy this type of gun, as the bullets go everywhere but where it's aimed. What a POC.

They also had a 9 mm Jimanez. No rounds for it though (nor did they have the manual). Showed the guys the safety which also locks the slide back. I fired 5 rounds of my reloads that I know are accurate in my CW9 and CZ. Hit the backer board (not the target) about 2 feet low and to the right. Told them, nice guns then left.

Well at least you we polite and kind to them. They probably think they could protect themselves, home and family with that POS. So you made them happy and that was sad, huh?
Reminds me of this story:

A husband and wife were sitting watching a TV program about psychology which was explaining the phenomenon of "mixed emotions".

The husband turned to his wife and said, "That is an absolute bunch of crap. I bet you can't tell me anything that will make me happy and sad at the same time."

She said: "Out of all your friends, you have the biggest dick."

all of the "ring of fire" guns are of the highest quality standards they are capable of achieving. Also made of the finest pot metal money can buy. And once you sand all the paint off the feed ramp, you can chamber a round the first...or second try.:rolleyes:

But I respect their right to manufacture firearms.....even if they are crap.
