Feeding problems !!

Thor & John,

Thanks for the hints I tried it with Win 147gr SXTs and it would work 5 times out of 8 with a strong 2 hands hold...I discarded the MecGar mag following Thor's advice as it's spring seems too weak for this gun. SE63 mag worked...but I'll try it with FXO's as they have a stronger spring. The gun is more reliable with 147gr that CCI 124gr's. Powerfull ammo needed ??

John,

The Gunsmith installed the barrel & left that sharp edge on the lower mouth...I'll try to polish it a little like you recommended...

It seems funny as I have a well used 5 in 30 Cal favorite shooter that has weaker springs ( everyone of'em right to the mainspring ! ) but functions with even that MecGar mag !! and is reliable `` most `` of the time...Should we be considering 9mm Lugers `` Big Bores `` in the family ?? Stiffer springs needed with the 9mm ??

Note: I only have those kind of reliability problems with `` built shooter pistols `` as most Collector Grade pistols I shot ( forbidden ?? ) never gave problems...wherever Military or Commercial guns...

I'll get back with results from the next shooting session...

Many thanks for the hints & advices...

Regards,

MARK
