Hey folks,
Wondering if anyone has any experience with this hand gun.
I've had my eye on it for awhile because it just seemed like such a great deal for a relatively high caliber weapon and also had the look and feel of a Glock; which I'm also a fan of. So, I went ahead and bought it from Academy a couple weeks ago
Anyway, took it to the range and had some problems with it right out the box.
1.) Mag rattle. As far as I've read, the mag rattle is just annoying but other than that harmless. It's like there's space in between the bullets in the mag and they rattle when it's in the gun.
Haven't seen much in the way of actually fixing this issue? Some bad suggestions about using tape but nothing else. Do the mags that come with the gun just suck? Should I switch to a single stack magazine, would that make any difference?
2.) Misfire/jam. I was using pretty cheap ammo so I'm wondering if maybe this gun is just a picky eater? But, even so, should it be jamming or failing to feed a bullet with cheap ammo even brand new out the box? It jammed quite a bit like at least 10-15 or so times with about 80-100 rounds fired.
I know a lot of semi automatic weapons have a "break in" period up to 500 rounds where malfunctions can happen. So, is that what's going on?
Anyway, just looking for some advice on how to deal with this. Should I clean my mags? I've heard people mention that packing residue could cause this? So maybe clean my gun? Try better ammo? Or should I just reach out to Smith and Wesson and try to replace it?
All guns I've owned and used have been solid and remained so through maintenance and care so I've never really had an issue like this till now, so I'm kinda lost lol.
Thank yall, any help and input on this weapon is appreciated
