I shot the qualifier course laid out by the county sheriffs office here.
I was carrying a Kimber Gold Match and brought along a Colt Gold Cup. Both are expensive target pistols.
I shot four different types of ball over a 150 round course and both guns choked on all the ammo at different points.
The Kimber quit totally and I finished the course with the series 70 Gold Cup.
I investigated the problem like a detective, knocking off what the problems could be. I changed the recoil springs in both, but couldnt clear up the occasional problems with the $1,100 Gold Match.
The Colt works fine now, but really only with Wilson mags and remington ball.
I cant trust a gun to save my life that I cant rely on all the time. The worst time for a failure to go into battery is when youve just shot a goblin trying to climb into your bedroom window.
Neither my Glock 19, nor my P-99 has ever experienced any malfunction whatsoever.
Dont get me wrong, I was raised on Gunsite and Jeff Cooper. My second centerfire handgun was a remington rand ww2 1911. If I could get a Colt LW Commander to run well dont you believe I wouldnt carry it now instead of Uncle Gaston’s greatest invention or a five shot snubby.
Because I would.
