I've done the ejector tweak on both my sons and mine Victory's and they have performed flawlessly for about 3,000 rnds each. A quick and effective fix. Might take you 2 or 3 attempts to get it right. Mine was right the first time, my son's took 3 attempts.

Wonderful news!! Glad to hear things are working for you finally. Just a note to pass on... be careful when you clean it as the ejector can get bent if you hit it with a brush the wrong way. Don't ask me how I know!!

Yes it was. I thought we had discussed this in another thread, but perhaps it was someone else. Yes, a slight bend of the ejector towards the bolt and it started performing flawlessly. For my son's, it took me 3 attempts before I got it bent correctly. I know just how frustrating this can be...

G.I. Shooter, sorry to hear you are still experiencing problems with this. Once I fixed mine, had the same problem, it shoots anything I put thru it... from CCI to Federal bulk to the dreaded Remington Bucket of Bullets. Too bad Smith and Wesson doesn't realize the damage they are doing with...

I shoot Bullseye with mine, as well as indoor 3-gun. Haven't found any ammo that it didn't like. Only mod I did was put a red dot on it... factory sights would be adequate for younger eyes, but not for mine.

Here is the only link I could find for this. I'm sure there was a better one when I did mine and my son's, but I can't find it. Victory ejector fix It's a very simple process. I used a pair of needle nose pliers and you just have to bend the ejector a very slight bit inward. If you bend it...

Went out this afternoon and put about 100rnds 124g thru it and 10 147g as well with no issues. Other than the brass ejecting towards me that I mentioned in another thread. My son was shooting the 147g loads and they seemed to work pretty good for me. I might switch to that weight for a bit and...

Oh, I LIKE the way you think.. "shoot more to help break in" What a great idea! :) I thought it might be due to everything being new. As for the ammo, shooting 124g with a Win231 load of 4.4g powder. I'm reluctant to go any higher as that is the max that Winchester recommends. I should buy a...

Just curious, what direction does your brass take when it is ejected from the gun? Brand new 2.0. I was expecting it to go the the right, like most semi-auto's that I have fired. Instead, it mostly shoots straight back towards me. Not a real big deal, I always wear safety glasses. Just gets...

Seem to have gotten rid of the stove pipes and FTE's. Using 124g with a heavy powder load. Winchester231 4.4g of powder. So far, I'm liking it.. who knows, with enough practice I might even start hitting the center of the target. :)

Sorry you are having such problems with your Victory. My son and I each bought one and, after a minor bending of the ejector, they will take any ammo we feed it. I'm probably at close to 3000 rnds thru mine... CCI, Remington Golden, Winchester, Federal Black pack, and a few others I disremember...

Well, finally got to take delivery of my new toy today. Put about 50 rnds of 124 thru it. Started to experience some stove pipes. I'm planning on giving it a thorough clean and lube before I take it out again. Overall, I'm satisfied with it. A completely different animal from my Victory 22, but...

Thanks so much for all your replies. Much appreciated. I'm going to start with 124g and adjust from there. I have a 9mm Carbine that really performs well with 115g but I don't think that is necessary in a pistol. My son was loading 124g and just recently switched to 147g in his CZ Shadow. He...

Recently purchased a M&P 2.0 9mm. Well, in process anyway.... hope to have it by the end of this week. Here in the Great White North we're not permitted to carry at all, so this will be strictly be a target and competition pistol only. What's everyone's choice on ammo weight? 115g,124,147...

My son and I each have a Victory, and are VERY happy with them. BOTH of them had the problem you describe. The ejector needs to be bent a very slight bit towards the bolt. There is a youtube video describing this process, and it is a very easy fix. Since making this adjustment, it will accept...
