My friend erma

Shadowsix, a nice find! My only experience is owning two P-08s and an Erma KGP-69 and I've kind of wanted to find an La. 22 (I've seen one locally but it's $500 and I will pass on that especially when I saw it next to a $700 'Black Widow' with its stock lug ground off). Good to hear that your ammunition combination works, too.

I did as you did, lubed up the Erma well (I even followed David's advice about oiling up the mag well, too). Certainly seems to help things work. I might have to try that subsonic ammunition you used as well. Thanks for sharing.

You are right rhuff, I should have looked more closely at them. I just went by the recommendations I've read for using them in particular in the Erma's and should have looked at the velocity..

I'll stick with the oiled subsonics & see if the CCI's are good enough to actuate my Kimber .22 1911 conversion (it is particular about some HV ammo).

Thanks Michael. I'm curious, I've read that the KGP-69 was better than the La, ET, or EP models, what is the major difference in them?
