I had a chance to get some range time today, and took the OFM stainless Luger along with a new-to-me 1911. The 1911 has a stainless frame and a Sarco Brazilian army parts kit.
![]() With the OFM Luger I shot 115gr FMJ w/5.25gr W231 & 1.150 OAL. I only shot 25 rounds. I had to stroke the toggle 2-3 times for each first shot. Not sure why that is. Maybe that's why the barrel/barrel extension/lug was .040" too far forward??? ![]() I'll try polishing the feed ramp in the frame and barrel. Maybe see if I can get an angle measurement on the barrel ramp. I noticed a bit of burnishing on the frame rail where the toggle knobs strike. Nothing major. No stovepipes. 4-5 failure to feeds. All ejected OK. Most went flying by my head, as they raced for the farthest and darkest corners of the range. (Same with the .45 cases). ![]() Magazine was super hard to load 5-6 rounds in. I guess I'll have to break down and buy a loading tool. Or make one...Yeah!!! ![]() It actually shot better than I was expecting. I shot off a rest at 50 feet. The 1911 shot better.
