[QUOTE="Zaphod Beeblebrox, post: 2983107, member: 4606"] Just got back from the range with my FEG Hi Power. Still having the occasional fail to eject (stovepipes) and fail to go into battery, along with the occasional double feed. I have new MecGar mags and replaced all the slide springs, so I'm thinking WTF? Got home, field stripped it and started the "drop in test" to see if the ammo was oversize. This is ammo from the same company (not the same exact ammo) that gave me the squib. Yes, I got stupid and forgot where I got the first batch from and ordered another batch of reman 9mm. The red poly coated bullet ammo (which the Hi Po HATES) wouldn't drop all the way into the chamber 100% of the time. It feeds perfectly fine in my Ruger 1911, so I'll use it there. The new batch of FMJ drops in better (almost all the way in) but not completely. I can really tell the difference when I drop in quality new ammo (Sig, Federal, etc...). Guess I'll have to use factory new ammo in the Hi Po and remind myself to never buy from that company again. [/QUOTE]
