Got me a used Starfire in .40. Wonderful little gun. I knew nothing about them but the price was right.
I bought two boxes of Blazers, and they jammed about 20-30% of the time. Every time it was the same thing. The flat nose would hang up on the feed ramp. A slight nudge on the slide and it would ride home.
Is this common? There are no obvious defects on the feed ramp, and the gun suffered no other failures. Cleaning it did not help. It *seemed* more common on a full mag - first two rounds, though it did happen on the last round once or twice.
I'll try regular ball next, which I'm pretty sure will solve my problem, but if flat-nosed cartridges don't work, I don't have much hope for hollowpoints.
Your thoughts are welcome.
