I have a SR22P, 2nd time to the range, cleaned the gun as i always do before shooting. 1st time to the range started off good, but it got dirty fast maybe 100-200rounds and then dirty and in-accurate and un-reliable lots of FTF & FTE, Stove Pipes every few rounds.
I dont consider it a Stuff happens Gun or even a back up, or even a backup to the back up Yet!
The problem is i cannot shoot it and have it be reliable.
I cannot count on my SR22P for reliability.
I want to be able to shoot 500 rounds through any gun before having to take it down for a cleaning, Maybe a wipe down at the range, clean feed ramp, inside ejection port, but have minimum issues with it.
My Issues were probably ammo related. I do not Limp wrist shoot, and i have checked for burrs in the slide area.
The SR22P is the only gun i have that gives up reliability in a short time at the range, it gets dirty very Quickly, and there goes its accuracy and reliability.
I have been testing some difference ammo through The SR22P, I have some Federal Blue Box (this should be a cleaner & more reliable ammo)to shoot through it next trip to the range.
This is some of the ammo I have used.
1. Remington Golden bullets shoot good, BUT are VERY Dirty (this may be the culprit)
2. Winchester White Box These also shoot good but are VERY Dirty
3. Blazer CCI these shoot for a Very Short time, gunk up the gun Fast, making it a waxie mess, (I will not use BLAZER again Ever in any of my guns) VERRY DIRTY.
4. Federal Brown box shot well, and seemed some what cleaner.
I have not tried CCI Mini Mags yet.
But My 22/45 Lite, shoots anything all the time, For a Long Time, and stays reliable and Accurate.
I shot 2000+ rounds through my 22/45 Lite 2 days ago I had 3 FTF and that was it. using all the ammo listed above to see if it would do it.
