Last time I was Walmart I asked if they carried Federal and they said no. They're building a Super Walmart here as well, so hopefully they will carry it.

I was also curious about the slide lock, now that it has loosened up nicely... Should I be using it when I put a mag in and am getting ready to shoot? I wasn't sure if it would further down the road lead to any problems if I kept on using it, as opposed to pulling the slide back and letting it...

So after about 250 rounds, here's a status update. 1. Took a look at the barrel to see if is was peening. It appeared to have a very slight bur on it. Took a fine grit dremel bit to it and removed it as well as created a little slant to hopfully keep the problem from reoccuring. I was...

Just an update. Another 50 or so through it and only 1 jam...right in the beginning. So I'm pretty happy that it's getting better each time! Now I'm just working on adjusting the sights as it seems to shoot a little high.

Well put another 90 rounds through it today. 50 147gr with the first ten going flawlessly, but then after that, a jam usually on the last round. I dropped it down to some 124gr and about the same result. Then finished off some 115gr with far less jams than the first time I took it out. I...

Thanks for the advice! Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks again, it's all oiled up and ready to go. I did have a question though regarding the slide stop. Now, I've only fired maybe 50 rounds through it, but is it unusual for the slide stop to be very hard to release when the gun is new? I can put all my force on that slide stop and no matter...

Thanks for the help everyone, I hope to get out to the range on Sunday again! I'll let you know what happens then!

Thanks everyone for the replies! So I'll let the slide back tonight and get some heavier grain rounds as well. Any advice on whether or not to oil the striker chamber which I just cleaned?

Figured it out from the Sticky Tutorials. And yeah, you were right, there was a ton of shaving up there. I cleaned it out and didn't oil it, as I thought I read somewhere not to... But anyway, I hope that solved some of the problem, but either way, it's nice to get those shavings out! But...

Thanks for the quick reply Rev! Any chance I could get a pic or description of the striker channel on this? I can field strip it no problem, but not used to the terminology used on semis. Thanks!

Hi all! I'm Gryz from Pennsylvania. Fresh out of college and getting ready for the real world. I've been shooting since I was very young, my grandfather took me hunting and to the range all the time so I am very familiar with rifles and shotguns. When he passed about 4 years ago I inherited...
