What ammo does it prefer, or does it shoot all brands well? I have seen online that it does not like the CCI Velocitor. I am thinking of buying at least one of the following: Federal premium, Remington golden bullet, Blazer or Remington thunderbolt.

Remington golden bullet

CCI Mini Mags

CCI Velocitors (Hottest 40 gr load available) can't understand this not working ?

Mine is picky .

the ones that won't work in mine is :

WW Super X
Federal Lighting

When the clip is full is when it "Sometimes" malfunctions with the Super X and Lightings. The Golden bullets always work.

I'll bring mine to Lancers .

I bought a Federal bulk pack and 50 rounds of Blazer. The Federal bulk pack of 525 rounds was only $22.99 and the CCI Blazer was $2.49 for 50 rounds. Maybe I'll get a chance to go to the range this weekend.

Clean and re-oil before first outing, make sure barrel is clean and dry. There could be very fine unseeable grit from the mfg process that hinders the slide during recoil.
It also doesn't hurt to dis-assemble the magazine, clean and debur any sharp edges.

If you have FTF (fail to feed) with the first ammo you try, don't give up on it. Some guns need to be broken in. Switch to your other ammo and save some of the FTF ammo for next time, it may function fine once the gun is broken in.

If you find and want to try CCI Stingers, check the owners manual first. It is not recommended in many semi auto .22s due to it having different dimensions (more OAL length).

Most important, shoot safe and have fun.

It would be weird if you couldn't qualify with a revolver....I kinda' mentally associate most Texans as having a revolver strapped onto their hip. Huh

I used a Smith and Wesson .357 revolver with a 6" barrel when I qualified in KY...and a lot of the folks brought big guns to shoot. The instructor commented that most of the guns were obviously not the guns folks would be carry concealed.....as they were just too big! (But they do make it easier to aim and hit the target).

Back then I was told it was qual with revolver, carry revolver; qual with auto carry anything. Has been changed to 'clarify' that qual with either is now good for to carry both. not learning to check before engaging mouth.

springman Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 2217 Spring, Texas Gender:	Re: My first handgun Reply #72 - 05/11/17 at 10:27:53 I believe it is concealed handgun license. It is often referred to as concealed carry license. I do not have one of these, but I am considering obtaining one.

I think you've guessed it Dave. Not yet. I believe I probably won't shoot it until in Oklahoma at Lancer's. Late last night I actually loaded and unloaded the magazines a couple of times. Seems the springs in the magazines are pretty stiff. I was only able to load 9 rounds in one and 8 in the other. If they do not loosen up a bit quickly I will have to buy a speed loader cause it left my thumbs tender from pushing the rounds in. Loading a 9mm clip is much easier.
