He finally called me in regards to my keyholing problem. He told me that he had been having lots of pistols come back with keyholing problems. He seemed genuinely concerned. He said that he had done some research and the problem seemed to be caused by the Silvertips that Winchester has been putting out. Either through sabotage or just a mistake, several "lots" of Silvertips have left the factory with either a bad crimp or no crimp at all. Thus, when the slide strips the cartridge off the top of the magazine and it hits the feed ramp, it sets the bullet back and this is what makes the little pistols keyhole. He told me that almost every keyholing pistol that had came back to the Seecamp factory had been "cured" by swtching to Gold Dots! Naturally, I ran out and purchased several boxes of Gold Dots to test in my pistol. Where the Hydra-Shoks I had tried had jammed immediately, the Gold Dots went in like they were greased. I was delighted! Then, my back went out and I haven't been able to get off this blasted heating pad long enough to get to the range.
It's starting to feel a little better. I'll post the results after I get to the range. (Hopefully this weekend.)
