So, I finally broke down and bought one. It was a good price and came with extra magazines.
I dry-fired it a few times, and the trigger got a bit better. Then I took an empty new magazine and topped it off with one snap cap.
It would not go completely into battery. I managed to rack the slide and got the dummy out. I have used these same ones before in SIG, Springfield Armory, Taylor's, and a few others and had no issued.
I tried it again with the same snap cap (because it will be different this time), and it jammed again. This time, I had to take it to the gunsmith, who took it in back, came back not a minute later, and had removed the snap cap. He recommended using a Dremel on the "case mouth."
I got home, disassembled the gun and found that a live round goes all they way into the chamber.
Is this a defect in the barrel, or can there really be that much difference in chamber dimensions across several manufacturers?
