gawd how many times do i have to "SPLAIN THIS!"

1) take it all apart and clean the hell out of it with q-tips.

2) take 3 flavors of ammo

3) shoot the hell out of it! ie. have someone loading mags for you. shoot the damn thing until ya burn off any leftover lubricants

4) it will be damn obvious by now what will shoot or will not shoot. at this point if its feeding correctly see what flavor groups best.

5) if yer hell bent on hollow points which QUITE A FEW DIFFERENT MFGS DONT LIKE.........YOU NEED SOME RAMPAGE! ie. a ramp job by a COMPETENT SMITHY!

6) 200 rds as fast as i can shoot before i even dick around with it.

7) play with different mags before ya send it back as mentioned.



i take each and every spoon out of the box upon purchase and literally tear it apart. clean everything with q-tips and my favorite lubes(its all about da lubes).




AND THEN SHOOT THE LIVING HELL OUT OF IT AT LEAST 200 ROUNDS IF NOT MORE!



if a FTE or FTF rears its ugly head..............well then we look at brownells or midway for uber goodies.


finally if the damn thing has pissed me off to no end..............it goes to the smithy or back to mfg.(PITA!) ask me how i know.


most new spoons work perfect. but some are just plain feeked up bastids that need an attitude adjustment like some people.


i too just got done with a hk p9s 9mm police trade in. perfect shape a "CLASSIC BARNEY FIFE" from der vaterland. sat in ottos or fritzz leather(YUCK) holster all the time and got holster burn on slide while otto or fritz ate streudel.



took it all apart, noted nothing screwed up and how perfectly clean entire damn spoon was. took it out with FMJ's and HP's. did NOT LIKE HP's at ALL!


this pissed me off to no end. ordered all new springs, buffer, blah blah. installed all and took it out again with same results. did not like HP's. FTF!


said the hell with it and made the corp. decision to go to ROBAR and have slide refinished and all internals NP3'd aka a "NORTON SPECIAL". told them about FTF HP's and they did a lil "FM"(feeking magic) on the feed ramp with their dremel tool...................AND LIFE IS GOOD and IT FEEDS HP's like poo thru a goose.
