LC9 ammo question

[joe86]

I recently purchased a new LCP. I have consistent failures to eject with UMC ammo, but Buffalo Bore (95 and 100 grain) are fine.

Should I contact Ruger about the problem with the UMC, or consider it a specific ammo problem and be happy that I've found a brand that works?

Also, if there is a favorite ammo post, please let me know where it is.

Thanks for any and all opinions.

I can't shoot Remington UMC through mine. I shot 100 rounds of Federal today with no problems. Loaded a magazine with the Remington UMC, racked the slide back and it wouldn't go into battery. I found out today that the Remington is a little shorter than the others that I've used. Not sure if that is the problem or not.

Blazer is a good choice also, might give that a try.

I have run about 60 rounds of UMC with out a issue.

Did have a light strike with WWB (once)
Other then that no problems..

Lateck,

Your title says: "LC9 ammo question" but in your text you are asking about an LCP.

I have both, and I found long ago, that my LCP wouldn't even chamber certain Corbon ammo, but runs on everything else. My LC9 runs on everything so far, but I must admit, I have not used UMC; Federal, WW, and many of my own reloads.

I've found the small autos are more sensitive to ammo than larger guns. Stick with whatever your gun likes.

I've had no problems with 115 fmj gr WB, 124 gr Speer Lawman+p and my reloads of Rainier 115 gr RN. I have some Magtech my buddy gave me to try, I think 95 gr hp's??
