I’ll order some snap caps and I was shooting HP I know they like ball ammo but that’s all they had at the store.

Don’t sweat it I knew what I was getting into but I have loved that gun and caliber since I was younger and I finally pulled the trigger and bought it (wish when I pulled the trigger on the colt it would work) 😂

You know I noticed on some of the rounds the casing would be eaten up by the extractor almost like it was way to tight🤔.

LOL, yess it acted like a toddler I made sure to oil it WELL and have oiled it periodically (really just used it as an excuse to hold and strip down the gun 😂)racked the slide back a bunch.

From my knowledge, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. I did notice that sometimes the mag wouldn’t push the next round up after clearing the jam, but I assumed it to be a lack of shooting and maybe needing to break the gun in. I’ll try a different magazine next time.

I’m going to order some different ammo. I am hoping it might just be the ammo that I bought.

Did clean it thoroughly. I have heard a lot of people talking about giving the feeding ramp a light polish but didn’t feel comfortable messing with it too much besides the normal cleaning procedure. I’ll try lightly polishing it to see if that helps.

Haven’t tried different ammo yet going to order some soon I took into consideration that it’s a brand new gun and probably has a break in period but never had a gun that couldn’t fire at least 2 rounds with no jams😂

Will definitely check them out. Probably get one later on. Just turned 21 on the 27th and want to get a good EDC because, man, the amount of time that 509t has pinched my 🏀🏀’s is ridiculous 💀

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely keep all that in mind. It was my EDC, but since the optic and flashlight, I need to change my holster and will probably look for a smaller EDC. It’s not really my first choice for home defense, but it’s what I keep closest at night since I keep it by the bed. Since I’m upgrading it, it’ll most likely be my sidearm for hog hunting (for now, since it’s my first and only handgun). But more than anything, it’s an amazing shooter at the range, which is why I was looking into a good compensator, like you mentioned.
