My Jimenez J-22 is headed to be a safe Queen

I had fun with the gun when it worked, it seemed CCI copper plated bullets worked the best. I didn't even mind dealing with the failure to eject, gave me a project to work on. But when the gun completely flew apart on me, that sealed the end of that gun. I'm stunned I found all the parts. Might see if I can sell the holster and magazines and save the gun for a gun back back.

I don’t know man. did the slide or frame crack? it’s a simple blow back, it should work again if nothing broke. I would try to make it run again

Nothing cracked, it just flew apart after about 8 rounds, I was on the second magazine.

That happened to mine back in the eighties, during a string of Stingers. I didn't know back then about not shooting high-vel or hyper-vel ammo through it. That loosens that rear bushing, and the gun field-strips itself.

I put it back together, but it was a while before I shot it again. When I did, it worked fine. Haven't shot it much since; it's really not a plinking gun.
