Hi Ross,

I found the slight copper plating aids in the feeding (hence use of the CCI Tactical) but who knows, perhaps that's psychosomatic and my other steps (following David's advice of lubing liberally) were the real aids in helping this thing work. I only paid $300 for my KGP-69 in January of this year so if you see one then definitely try and snag one in that price range!

Good look and keep us informed about that La 22. I'm curious about it (there is one locally but as I said, $500 vs. $700 for the WWII Black Widow Luger next to it).
