Kinda sorta true. My brother has an XD. It didn’t care for hollow points.
Thing is, it is important to him to have hollows.
Took it to a gun smith, polish it.
Shot it, with hollows. I thought a couple of jams on 500 was okay, but then again, I have none on the Kimber.
He wasn’t satisfied.
Took it back to the gun smith, polished again.
Ran 500 rounds through it, zero failure. Cleaned it.
Took it out again, ran 500 through it, no problemo and now he is happy the gun will perform it’s intended function.
Sometimes you have to do some work on a gun to get what you want out of it, exactly.
My 770? Love it, except the butt plate. After only a few rounds, I was flinching and thinking this cheap ass piece of rubber must have come off a tractor.
It was throwing my rounds off by 5”, due to the flinching. It really hurt and I was surprised, since I had shot many other weapons with steel butts and no problemo.
Went and got a slip over butt extender and got my groups back down to 1” but I hated that cheap ass looking slip over.
Spent $70 on a nice extender and it just plain feels better.
I am thinking about getting a cheek weld, as I don’t care for how I have to shift around to get it right.’
But, other than that, I am now happy with the setup and my Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x40mm. (couldn’t stand that cheapass scope that came with rifle. Tossed it in storage, if I ever neeeeeed it. Not)
Love it!
Why?
