...I had a SR22 that was 100 percent reliable until one random day for no reason it wasn't. Yeah...Ruger is something else these days.
What happened to your SR22? That's one of the guns I brought from Cali and it's been amazing for nearly a decade.

I don't know. Out of the blue it would stove pipe and not blowback all the way on every round. It went from eating everything to that and the recoil spring was fine, I didn't see any problems on the slide or frame rails, the extractor was the same...I didn't have an answer. It would fire and fail to eject every round. I went into Euless guns and ammo and traded it. Told em what it was doing and I didn't expect much in trade. They gave me the full trade amount and felt like they could trouble shoot it.What happened to your SR22? That's one of the guns I brought from Cali and it's been amazing for nearly a decade.

I'm sure no. The mags and gun got taken care of. I can see a follower having issues with the first round, but every single round and the geometry seemed the same. If manually operated it would pick up a round fine. You fire it, and it didn't want to blow back anymore; hardly at all. There was no signs of anything. Just as it would fire anything, it decided one day it wouldn't fire anything or any type of ammo. I looked it over expecting to find something but it was truly odd. Not one part told a story. Everything looked fine.Faulty Mags?
This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion but the Canik TP9 Elite Combat/Elite Combat Executive.I would like to know which pistols do you own or have shot that have left a positive impression. I haven’t bought a pistol in about 3 years, saved up around $1000, and about ready to purchase. Any feedback is appreciated.
Bullshit. You just have to lube them 1911s before a range trip.Well you have to remember, 1911 guys are too cultured to clean every 2,500 rounds. That's cave man stuff. Because of "tighter tolerances", you have to clean and lube after every range trip to experience the pure unadulterated joy of the 1911 platform, the gun that won TWO (not one) world wars.
That's of course AFTER the break-in period, which is a foreign concept to Glock users who can use their guns immediately and reliably out of the box, but definitely well known to the more cultured 1911 audience.
On the 1911 forum I visit someone had a 92x performance for sale for $975 shipped. I missed it by 30 minutes.This might not fit the thread, because it didn't cost me $700...
Wifey and I checked out a new-to-us gunshop yesterday. We both found something we had to bring home. Price tag on this was $699 - shop was running 10% off deal though yesterday as an early Black Friday thing I guess. Brought that price down to $630, taxes brought it back to $680.
I've been enjoying my vanilla 92FS so much, I decided to get the more modern version too.
Fondled a 92X Performance over at Spring Guns & Ammo the other day - oooh does that have the nicest trigger I've ever fondled on a stock DA gun. The $1559 + tax price tag was too rich for my blood at the moment though.
When we stopped in at Texas Loot yesterday they had this lil' guy and it had to come home with me. I think I'm becoming a Beretta fan-girl.
The November issue of American Rifleman features a new S&W, the CSX. It looks interesting to me. Metal frame, compact, and MSRP of $609. I own a similar older model (3905?) and it's a nice shooting little 9mm.
Anyone seen the CSX firsthand?
I was not impressed with the CSX I've shot. Felt like it needed an extra year or 2 in developmentThey're not really new - been out for about a year. Only seen one in person, but it was at an Academy and thus, couldn't try the trigger out.
They had some issues with them - magazine related + the polymer grip inserts were too fragile. Hopefully they fixed them, because its cool to see a hammer fired, metal framed Smith & Wesson auto, even if its a tiny 9 and not a fully size gun. They were also supposed to put them out in @zackmars favorite new caliber - .30 Thuper Carry
