[QUOTE="druryj, post: 1663884, member: 10465"] Yeah but...22 lr is a [U]rimfire [/U]cartridge, not a [U]centerfire[/U]. Was the ammo in the [I]centerfire's [/I] reloaded stuff? I went shooting with a guy a couple weeks ago who was complaining about his .380 pistol wouldn't cycle, not matter what ammo he was using (WWB, Fiocchi, S&B and some Remington). I gave it a try and it worked fine for me with all the diffferent loads. I suggested he grip the gun a little firmer and not "limp wrist" it...to little or no avail. He was a self-proclaimed "expert" with a pistol and just dead set on blaming the gun's failures on either the ammo or the recoil spring. The ammo was fine, the spring was fine...the magazines were fine. His problem was outside the scope of this poll as it was not a mechanical issue; it was as earlier suggested above, the "shooter" was the problem. I quietly loaded 5 rounds in a 6 round mag and watched him run through it...a very noticeable flinch at the end of the string when he thought he had one shot left and that barrel dipped like nobody's business.
