    Does it feed hollowpoints? I have read place unless you polish and recontour the feed ram it won't feed them at all.

    Honestly, I don't know. I've only fed it FMJ, as HP is kind of hard to come by around here at the moment. I know it does NOT like Brown Bear, but runs perfectly with the Blazer brass FMJ.

    IF one were to install at 7.62x25 barrel, would it be a hi cap 7.62x25?
    That would be bad ass.

    I don't think that would work. The 9mm versions that use magazines converted with a spacer can be changed to 7.62mm by using 7.62mm mags or removing the spacer, where this is designed from the ground up to use 9mm.

    It is a nice gun, as I have seen it in person. I just don't have the need for another 9mm. the two I have eat enough ammo. Unless you want to trade it for a .22 revolver?

    Ok folks, I'm putting this sale on hold. After a trip to the range today, the pistol is experiencing light primer strikes and I'm not going to try to sell it to someone till this is resolved.

    Ok, I've done my homework and apparently the firing pin is a bit worn down. The gun occasionally needs to be recocked for a second strike to set off a round. By occasionally, I mean 3-4 times out of a box of 50 imported steel case ammo, or about 1 time a box with the CCI blazer brass. After checking around, I cannot find a replacement firing pin. The pin is supposed to measure 2.065-2.08", and currently measures 2.000". The light primer strikes may be caused by the worn down firing pin, or possibly a weak hammer spring. As a replacement firing pin is not available at this time, I'm going to sell the gun as is, at a reduced price, with no guarantees. It may be that the hammer spring needs replacement, or that a clever person could figure out a way to lengthen the firing pin. You might be able to watch the auction sites and come up with a replacement that way. But me, I really don't want to mess with it. I'm now asking $200 for the gun, 2 mags, and ammo, or a close trade for some other semi auto pistol, all reasonable offers considered.

    Should have just gotten a HiPoint. :(
