My first trip to the range involved 100 rounds of cheap fredommunitions.com 124 grain FMJ's that resulted in about 10 Failure to Loads. Then 50 Rounds of Blazer 124 grain that resulted in about 2 Failures. I knew it was a brand new gun but I wasn't thrilled with the results.
I made a second voyage today and had pretty good results.
100 Rounds of Winchester White Box 124 Grain.
100 Rounds of Federal American Eagle 124 Grain.
And 50 Rounds of Blazer 124 Grain.
Total failures was 2 and I'm 99% sure they were a result of the snap caps
mixed into the magazine. Both failures had snap caps directly underneath the rounds that failed and I noticed they are slightly more slender than a round.
After I stopped using them I had 150 rounds clear of incident.
I think the biggest difference was being careful not to rest my thumb anywhere near the slide release.
I also had a horrible flinch the first time out but I was very mindful of my "condition" and made steady progress.
What a great feeling gun. I'm very happy with it.
