What brand of reloads are you using? I used some custom loads from, maybe, Mr. Nambu (?), and they worked perfectly.
At $1.00 per shot I've not shot a lot of rounds thru my Nambu, but they have all been flawless. So I'm not certain that the jam-a-matic label is deserved.

Fortunately, its no longer a Jam-O-Matic! It ran just fine, with the exception of a couple of times when the bolt didn't quite return to battery and I needed to give it a slight tap - and the hangfire, of course; which could have happened with ANY brand of ammo.

They're Mr. Nambu reloads. When I have a moment, I want to mic the remaining ones to see if there are any "fat" ones. Like you, I haven't shot many for the same reason! I was successful in recovering about half my brass, which will help some when it comes time to get more ammo.

If we were allowed conceal carry here in the People's Republic, I'd give a thigh holster a try - but probably with a slightly bigger gun than the NAA. Apparently there was a situation where an armed robber broke into a guy's house and the homeowner took three hits from a .38 - but returned fire with a NAA .22 short (like mine), hit the perp in the belly causing him to flee. The cops caught him shortly thereafter! Definitely proves the first law of gunfighting!
