Well today was the first day out for the pup and it did ok. The pup is very ammo picky and that is no joke. I took 6 different types of 9mm with me to see what it like to eat, so here is the run down.
Speer Lawman 124gr - 50 rounds, all fed, fired, and extracted as expected.
Speer Gold Dot 147gr - 20 rounds, same as above.
Remington Golden Saber 124gr - 6 rounds and only one fired on the first trigger pull, some took as many as 4 pulls. I stopped after 6 rounds and these were the first to be fired out of the pup.
Hornady 115gr Z-max – 6 rounds, these were the second rounds to be fired in the pup and was about the same as the Remington in needing up to 4 trigger pulls to fire them off.
Federal FMJ 115gr – I only tried 6 rounds of these and had one FTE, the case was still in the barrel when I had to clear the fire arm.
Hornady Custom 147gr – I did not try these after seeing the results with the first box.
I had absolutely no problems with the Speer Lawman or Gold Dots. I would fire both mags then let the pup cool down while my buddies were practicing with their duty weapons. (They both really liked the pup on a side note.) The pup had a little kick, but not as bad as I thought it would be, the last two and a half mags I did a rapid fire while practicing two mag changes. The only thing that I did notice was that the pup was shooting low, I would aim at the 10 and hit the 8, but it was dead center. My pup as of right now only likes Speer ammunition. I want to try some Blazer rounds make by Speer and Winchester Silvertips when I can find them, but for now I will have Gold Dot 147gr rounds as my carry ammo. Thanks for listening.
