I got my new safety on Monday and finished assembly of the Erma. Today after work I stopped by the range and popped off about 150 rounds. The first two mags had me thinking there were goimg to be alot of problems. I most cases the shells ejected but a new one failed to load. I persisted, and varied the amount of bullets I loaded. The last 6 always seemed to fire flawlessly. Long story short, after a few more mags, I was able to shoot a full load with only maybe 1 in 30 misfeeding. I was using the Federal in the 550ct box from Wallymart. I also had some PMC Sidewinders. I thought they would be trouble as they were not jacketed rounds and the softer tips would pose a feed problem. Nope, they loaded and reloaded straight-away. I used the silver bottomed mag (pictured above), as I forgot to bring the other one with me. I'll be interested to see if it works as well. Below is my first target. My first two shots with the gun are high and outside the rings. I love firing this gun and its accuracy, I hardly felt like I was aiming.
