Took my new LCP to the range and first shot was dead center target @7yds - unfortunately it went downhill after that. Accuracy suffered, mostly low/high but at least I know its me, not the gun. Also ended up with a blister on my trigger finger between 1st and 2nd joint, maybe I need to figure out a different way to hold it.
As to the failure to ejects (FTE). I was using the original Ruger mag. Ammunition was PMC 90 gr RN and Cartridge Co of the Phillipinnes 95gr RN. Yeah, I know, not the best quality but it feeds OK through my picky PPK/S and I heard the LCP eats about everything.
I had about 5 FTEs in around 100 rounds, experienced with both types of ammunition. The spent casing would end up with the primer end pointed slightly up and the front of the spent cartridge would be jammed between the incoming round and the top of the slide. On 2 of the 5 there was a noticable dent on the lip of the spent cartridge.
I understand there is probably some break in period but it was still a bit disappointing. Is this something I should be worried about? Anything I can do other than trying differt ammo?
Thanks...
