Thumbs down J Frame...

The first was the failure to chamber the second round. Then at approximately round 50, I had a light primer strike that didn't fire the round. And then maybe 2 failures to return to battery. I think those were caused by me getting tired of shooting the little gun. Its a bit of a handful and the trigger is nothing like my GLOCK's. I then tried two defensive rounds. One brand, Glaser Pow'R Ball, functioned fine. The CorBons seemed to to have a harder time, but out of 12 rounds, I had one failure to feed and one failure to return to battery. After that they worked great.

One problem I had though that royally sucked, is I kept dropping the mag while firing. Both one handed and two handed grips found me interferring with the mag catch. Other than that, I think it did well for its first outin and some break in.
I'd rather have a pocket pistol in a J frame that goes bang every time. As a BUG it would be my last resort in a self defense action. Just my opinion. I like the way it looks but I put one in my hands and it was too small... hands are just a bit on the large size.
Thanks for posting your range report 03RangerXLT.

I'd put a McCain for President sign in my yard, if the sign looked like that!

Just bought one and will be shooting it this weekend! I will get back to this thread when I do. I did fire one round out the back door at a bottle that was about 20' away. Hit it dead! I like it so far. How did you polish the barrell like that?
