Last summer, a friend of mine let my wife shoot his Beretta 92FS, and she fell in love. His pistol often had failures to feed when she shot it, but it functioned flawlessly for everyone else. We chalked this up to the gun being dirty or a bad magazine.
Fast forward a few months... we're at a gun show and an Inox 92FS caught her eye... we bought it. I've shot about 500 rounds through the pistol with absolutely no issues. My wife came with me to the range today and had many failures to feed.
My wife is an experienced shooter ... she's not limp-wristing, she has a firm, two hand grip on the pistol and none of our other semi-autos "flake out" with her on the trigger. She can have failure after failure and then hand me the pistol and I have no trouble at all.
She cleared a few of the jams, although I had to help out with two or three. In the cases where I was summoned, I found a cartridge bullet down (primer facing up) in the magazine. On one of these occasions, I found it almost impossible to remove the cartridge with the tools in my range bag, and actually considered removing the base plate in order to free it up.
We're currently shooting Remington UMC 115 grain (L9MM3).
Any ideas?
