[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3323531, member: 5316"] My results were very much like his in the video. The guns prefer round nose ammo to ensure it does not hang up in the magazine or the feed ramp. If it hangs on the feed ramp it damages the nose of the hollowpoint. The problems increased as I moved to standard velocity ammo. CCI SV ran much better than Aguila or Federal. The issues increased with the added weight of the aftermarket sights. In SV ammo, CCI became marginal. Aguila and Federal has frequent issues. In HV the Agulia became marginal. With the aftermarket sights on both guns. The full-size Dawson on one gun and the 42/43 Dawson rear on the other, they have ran like a top through several hundred rounds. I now have an extra pair of sights to make them both carry full-size Dawson rears. I hope to get these swapped out and start running some more test rounds through them in the next few days. The 44s are like most other .22s I’ve shot. You have to test and find what ammo the gun seems to like. In some cases modifications of the gun was required. The added sight weight issue was the most shocking thing for me. But the recoil spring on this gun is pretty stiff. It appears to have the same spring rate as my Gen 4 19. I even installed the RSA from the 44 into the 19 to see how the spring felt (non-firing). My non-precision method of sling shorting the slide with my thumb and pinky, tells me they are pretty close in rate. I’m sure to help positively feed the rounds, they chose to keep a heavier spring rate an lighten the slide to make it function. I’m most disappointed with Glock on their marketing and reveal promotion talking about all the different ammo it was tested with and how many rounds were fired. But they also revealed they lowered the normal Glock standards and obtained other manufacturers guns to test. So instead of Glock “perfection” they settled on doing better than the other guns on the market. You can argue individual samples one way or the other. I’ll keep running the guns with around nose 40 grain ammo. The CCI MiniMag 40g CPRN works almost flawlessly. I still want to find something with a tad bit less recoil that runs 100% with the heavier sights. But I’m more than happy to settle with the CCI 40g ammo and use the same sights as my other GSSF guns. I’m going to measure recoil a bit as part of the ammo selection process if time allows. Until then I have some more ammo to vet and test. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200207/33f15f7cbf5ea154ec0f2a7eb3edc38d.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
