Took my new Loaded Champion to the range today.

Shot 150 rounds through it. 50 Fiocci 230grain and 100 Winchester White Box.

It shot very well. I experienced no FTF's or FTE's.

However, I did purchase a Chip McCormick 8round magazine and after using it 2-3 times, it stopped working in the gun. I couldn't get it fully into the magwell. It would just get stuck. The Springfield magazines worked flawlessly. I paid only 15 dollars for the Chip McCormick magazine. So " you get what you pay for?"

Other than that, it was more accurate than I expected. I shot it a lot better than my Beretta 96. The trigger is MUCH MUCH smoother than on my Beretta.

Overall i'm happy with my purchase and can't wait for the day that I can "carry" it. BIG BLUE

Hmmmmmmm, McCormic mags are usually first rate! Much better than the Mecgars that come with the gun. IMHO the Metalform are the best, followed by the Wilson & McCormic. Then at the absolute

When inserting the magazine, try depressing the release. Often, especially on new pistols, magazines won't insert smoothly because they get caught on the release.
