The 1st time I let the bolt slam shut after restoring the gun to stock I could tell the problem was solved. The problems were definately not ammo specific. And so far, this pistol has not showed signs of being picky. Not picky as far as operating, accuracy varies from one brand to the next. It shoots 40gr CCI blazer exceptionally well and Thunderbolts impressively too. Armscor is ok. I have some federal and some 38gr CCI Blazer that I haven't tried in it yet. I'm confident the Blazer will perform. Time will tell on the Federal.
