Got the new Davidson's Model 41 to the range today! Put 5 CCI SV's in the mag and released the slide. The nose of the first bullet hit the lower end of the feed ramp and jammed! I cleared the jam, locked the slide back, reinserted the mag and released the slide and the same thing happened. And, a third time. So far, three rounds and three jams!
Upon close examination and analysis, I realized that the forward lips of the mag were too close together to allow the brass of the ammo to rise out of the mag! (Wonder how they fired the test bullet! Probably didn't use the mag that came with the gun.) Fortunately, I had with me my High Standard magazine adjustment tool. I bent the forward lips open and, SHAZAM! the gun started to feed the ammo smoothly!
However, that just exposed the next problem - upon firing, the slide did not go back far enough to eject the empty shell nor, after the last round, did the slide lock back.
I decided that a bigger bang was needed so I loaded up 5 CCI Mini-Mags high velocity. All five fired without a malfunction and the slide locked back! 30 more Mini-Mags went through without a hitch!
I then switched back to CCI SV and, two hundred rounds later, there had not been one malfunction! Conclusion - once the mag feed problem was solved, it just needed its butt kicked a few times!
The sights were, from the beginning, dead on left to right but shooting about 3 inches low. It took around 15 clicks up to get to the center. Once there, it was lovingly accurate!
I like this gun! This is premature but, later alternating between it and my High Standard 106 Trophy, I believe that I was shooting the Mod 41 better.
