Default 1st range report with my BG

Went to the range and fired my BG for the first time. I fired 100 rounds total, 50 MagTech and 50 Herters. I had 2 FTFeed with the MagTech. Each time it was the same magazine and the same round, 6th round in the mag. I had one light strike and it was with the Herters (known for hard primers). Other than that, all went fine. Accuracy was actually impressive at 6 yards. Trigger was long, but for the purpose of the gun, it is adequate.

Yeah, I'd say that's VERY impressive.
Nice shooting.

Very nice shooting, looks like you did a job on the lungs. So far with limited shooting my BG has been 100%. I have to wonder if the mag springs may be the culprit with the FTF problems. Before firing for the first time I cleaned the mags.

I would say that the mag springs may indeed have a lot to do with it. I noticed that it doesnt matter which ammo I use, the pistol seems to get sooty after a box or two and I strongly feel that build up of soot may cause the plastic follower in the magazine to stick.
