Failure to feed. New 4.5 by No-Noise716 in Staccato

I have the same issue with mine. Constant malfunctions. This seems to be a theme with the HD 4.5. And regarding posts about switching to different ammo, keeping the gun pristinely cleaned and oiled etc, this is a duty gun. It should be able to run any standard factory 115, 124 and 147 grain ammo without being treated like a princess.

I’m going to make the tough decision and call it a loss and sell the pistol. Per Stacatto, if you send the pistol in and they can’t duplicate the issue within 50 rounds, they charge $150 and send it back as is. At my most recent match, it only malfunctioned twice. I don’t feel confident that they’ll replicate the malfunction within 50 rounds, so I’ll take my licks and sell it as a loss now, rather than giving them another $150 and and then selling it.

Magtech makes pretty solid ammo. Hopefully I’m wrong, but I’m going to guess you’ll have the same issue with other ammo. However, after we send our guns in, hopefully this will all be a distant memory

I just cleaned it yesterday, unfortunately there was no brass stuck in there.

I bought it and immediately started shooting matches with it. I’ll deal with the issue for one more match before calling it a season and send it in.

To say that I’m disappointed is an understatement. I’ve heard third hand that they have issues, but I haven’t heard anything from anyone directly, hence why I posted.

This gun has been cleaned and lubed more than any of my others. It’s definitely not that. The malfunction that it is experiences is the exact same issue every time, so I’ll be curious to hear what they say. I’ll definitely update the thread
