[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1071674, member: 7629"] thanks... sharp eyes! another OSA member just showed my how to date my PPK .380 it's markings indicate 1968.... on feed reliability again correct. PPK with FMJ feeds without a hitch, never had a failure to fire. but cannot say the same with defensive hollow point ammo. IMHO your auto pistol is not proven reliable until a minimum of several hundred rounds have been shot. since most mouse guns are carried with $30 per 20 self defensive ammo (hollow point). that's the ammo/pistol combo that needs to be proven. 1911 Gold Cup normally shoots 50-100 rounds FMJ .45 per session. it's NEVER fail to fire. every possible part internally has been polished. feed ramp has a mirror shine, etc. naturally I'd trust my 1911 with FMJ .45 ... but not with defensive ammo. since I have not shot enough rounds through my 1911 to prove reliability. thank goodness 1911 with FMJ .45 has plenty of firepower to not need funky defensive ammo. surely someone out there has done it... but personally know of no one that's shot several hundred rounds of defensive ammo at $30 per 20 through their auto pistol. this is why PPK is retired to the gun safe and 340PD is carried all day long as my CCW.
