Hi All,
I've had my 2nd Gen P3-AT for several years now. After one trip back to the factory for failure to feed hp's it has never had a failure to feed with the Black Hills 90gr JHP I use for carry or the Sellier & Bellot 92gr JHP I use for low cost practice. A couple of days ago I picked up some Magtech 95gr FMJ for cheap practice since it was a couple of dollars a box cheaper than the S&B.
I used the Magtech first in my +1 mag and the recoil from it kept causing the mag release to be tripped (might have been my hand hitting it) dropping the mag slightly and causing a FTF. I've never had this happen with any other ammo. I didn't have the problem with the regular mag but I did experience several FTF's. The pistol was completely clean when I started shooting and I noticed the feed-ramp was crusty dirty after ~35 rounds of the Magtech. Wondering if it was the gun or the ammo I ran several mags of the Black Hills through it with no problems. It seems my particular P3 just doesn't like the Magtech ammo.
Cheers,
Wuchak
