Title: AT THE RANGE DAY 5 ...AND FOLLOW UP BOTH PISTOLS
Post by: Rocky150 on December 22, 2017, 05:03:51 PM
Well not it is starting to get a bit boring!!!   And gladly so.

All ammo is Winchester White Box 115 gr...unless otherwise specified.

Pistol #1..   Huntsville

2 Mags, for a total of 21 reloads at 7 rounds each (147 rounds total)

ZERO issues..

7 rounds 115 gr silver tip HP .......perfect.      7 rounds Super Vel (old +P) .  shorter OAL....1 FTF first rnd from slide back. Rerack= 7 perfect.

Pistol #2 :     Charlotte

2 Mags for a total of 10 reloads at 7 rounds each.  (70 rounds total)

Perfect EXCEPT Mag 3, 5th reload, 5th rnd....RAPID FIRE...went limp and felt it....FTF...bummer.

Total rounds on this piece = 214.

Both pieces feed the first round w/ no problem using the hand rack method of loading.   Charlotte is a little stiffer but getting there.

I thinks that this issue is closed.  What do you think???

Merry Christmas.

Case closed in my opinion. The R51 works. Folks just need to quit whining about it doesn't work.

I agree, sounds like a non-issue at this point.

Yup.  The R51 works.  A little break in is needed, but that's true for many good semiauto pistols.
