I have some testing to do with a "prototype" Burris Fast Fire III base I've made for the SR 22 pistol.
The pistol I was previously using was sold after a customer found me out back testing my version of a base utilizing the Fast Fire III optic on it. I only had a couple of hundred rounds through that pistol, with the base & sight mounted before this customer decided he needed that gun more than me. So, last Thursday I ordered another one.
First thing I did, after this pistol was logged into my bound book, was to grab a box of Federal Auto-Match and two magazines. I pulled two dry patches through the bore and headed out back to my range. Temperature was 6° yesterday, so I didn't dally with getting 11 rounds and then 10 rounds fired through the pistol. No problems what-so-ever. Today, I pulled the recoil spring guide out of the slide and lathe turned a new one from stainless steel.
After lunch, I installed the "threaded barrel adapter" and screwed my suppressor onto the barrel. This time, a 21 hollow-point rounds from a box of Remington .22 Sub-Sonic was loaded, with first, a round in the chamber and then ten rounds in each magazine. Again it was cold outside, but this little pistol did its job as best as one would hope to expect. 42 rounds have now been shot out of this newly arrived pistol, flawlessly, with nothing done to it other than to pull two patches through the barrel and make a new "steel" recoil spring guide rod.
How can anybody NOT like that for a basically "once fired, newly arrived, pistol"?
