Hey guys, I'd like to start this off by saying that I love the feel and fit of this in my hand. Nothing else felt quite the same so I decided it should be mine. Anyway, I went to the range yesterday with it for the first time, no cleaning, just straight out of the box to the range.
After about 100 rounds this thing was giving me problems. FTE's mostly, and several times it failed to lock back after the last round was fired. I am, at this point, attributing these problems to either dirty ammo(Independence brand), or the gun just needing broken in.
My friend thinks its just the recoil spring being too strong and not allowing the slide to push back far enough. I have a video if any would be interested in seeing.
So I suppose part of this range report was for me to vent a little, and also get your opinions on what could be the cause. Any and all information will be helpful as I'm still pretty new to owning a firearm!
