I used an outdoor store discount coupon to plug a carry-gun gap in the old gun safe with a Ruger EC9s 9mm and a Ruger LCP-II .380. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to the range for a couple of weeks to try them out.
In the meanwhile though, I manually cycled several magazines of FMJ through each of them and both fed, extracted and ejected just fine.
Then I tried the same exercise with the EC9s but using 9mm Federal Classic 115 Hi-Shok JHP-- pulling the slide fully to the rear and letting it slam home.
Repeatedly on the 3rd or 4th round in each magazine-full, the cartridge nose-jammed into the feed ramp and wouldn't chamber. I'm wondering if I can look forward to a repeat performance when I get to the range.
Any suggestions from Ruger LCP-II and EC9s owners on what you feed those little guys to keep them happy ?
