[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3091583, member: 5391"] The Ranch Products moon clips for the 986 arrived yesterday and were loaded up from my ample supply of WWB 9 mm from WallyWorld, so today I put 126 rounds through the revolver. There were a few hiccups as there were three FTF's due to light hammer strikes early in the session. One likely explanation could be that the revolver is still new and is not fully broken in as maybe a chip from a burr left over from the factory got in the way or something. Frankly, I am guessing here. After today's session, I put the Hogue Monogrip back on as the Compac was allowing the gun to shift around too much in my during recoil. As an experiment, I tried shooting with my weak hand and it went fairly well with a minor embarrassment. One of the rounds went right into the steel spring clip holding the target on the stand, and ruined the clip. I have seen this happen before but honest to God, that was the very first time I have done it. Really!! The gun seems to be quite accurate for me and while it might not be the best gun for everyday carry, it will serve admirably as a house/bedside gun. But, if these misfires continue, I'll have to send it back to Springfield. [/QUOTE]
