Hello all.
I am shooting in a bullseye league, using a MKII. I have had a series of problems while shooting that I don't know how to fix.
First has been a fairly consistant problem of "stovepipe" jams, with the empty case laying across the case trying to get into the chamber. This is worse with some ammunition (Federal and PMC Scoremaster), and almost nonexistent with CCI Green Tag or Standard Velocity. I would assume that is due to the fact that the CCI's are slightly more powerful?
I also have a problem with the slide going forward and crushing the round going into the chamber. This happens almost exclusively with the CCI Standard Velocity rounds.
Recently, it has started not picking up the round in the top of the magazine. It will do this maybe once in two or three magazines. This also happens mainly with CCI's.
I have gotten several suggestions from the guys in the league. I personally think that since others have few problems with my gun (shoot five or six magazines with no problems) it must be the way I hold the grip when shooting.
Any suggestions?
Casey
