When I bought my two CZ-52's from AIM last week I also ordered a box of MFS +P 230gr. HP Law Enforcement Grade ammo to try out. Instead they sent me a box of FMJ. Talked to them on the phone Friday and they said they'd send me a box of HP on Monday. So anyways today at the range I was shooting the rest of the Winchester value pack, some Blazer 230gr. and some Winchester HP 230gr. SXT through my Colt Sistema without any problems. Then I decided to try out the MFS ammo. The slide did not want to go into battery about 80% of the time upon chambering the first round. Tried a few different magazines and the same result. I had to yank back on the slide very hard to get the round out of the chamber, I hope I didn't damage my extractor, but it seems ok.
When I was able to chamber a round successfully, it would fire the rest of the magazine without problems. I switched back to the Winchester SXT HP and some Blazer and no problems again. Something must be catching, but upon comparing cases of different ammo side to side I could not tell what the problem would have been. I did not have my Norinco 1911A1 along to try out the ammo in as well. Just a heads up for people who are considering buying some, you might want to just try one box first.
On a side note, both of my unissued CZ-52's I received from AIM functioned flawlessly with S&B 7.62X25mm, barring the occassional failure of the slide to lock back.... I'm not able to hit the broadside of a barn door with them yet though.
