The .22 went bang, bang, bang, click, bang, bang, bang, bang.
The 9mm, went BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG. The trouble is, it didn't like steel cased cheap TulAmmo brand from WalMart, and that was the only ammo I brought to the range. The steel cases would bind up the cylinder so it wouldn't turn all the time, and then they wouldn't eject. I had to tap them out with a little screwdriver. I only had the 6 rounds of brass cased ammunition (Hollow Points) that I had in the gun for carry purposes, but it seemed to work fine.
I'll be replacing the hammer spring in the .22 again with a slightly heavier spring to get it to fire all rounds reliably. And also taking brass cased ammo with me to the range on Saturday or Sunday and try it all again.
Yep. I learned the painful lesson of steel cased ammo early. But my lesson was .223 ammo. Which is lacquer coated. Another mistake I only made once. Brass is the only way to go!
I knew you get what you pay for with guns. Should have realized the same applies to ammo. As it does so many other things...
