I bet, and then he has to clean them! :)

Big Max - Thumbs up on your recent range results! Now, you can start enjoying the BG! How did you like the HPR rounds? Their company's website says their ammo burns cleaner than other top manufacturers' ammo! Of course you won't be able to tell seeing you had a mix of the PMC rounds at the same...

Hey David! Same 'ole, Same 'ole, what a shame! I really think you have been more than patient. If you truly like the BG and want to hang in there some more, I would get on the phone and call Smith and explain your recent range results. I believe what they serviced on their end, probably with a...

Big Max - Did you receive the PMC's yet and if so, how did they work for you? Your most recent post, you said you ordered the HPR TMJ rounds from Cabela's. I had never heard of these but saw where customer reviews were very high. I also went on to HPR's website and they pride themselves on...

Big Max - I'm still shooting FMJ rounds with my BG so I won't be able to recommend any SD ammo to you. If you are wanting to move on SD rounds, this is when things start getting expensive. Most of the top line SD ammo is packaged in boxes of 20, rather than 50, so you have reduced your range...

Xrayduke - Funny you should mention that. We were having problems with our BG (see above reply post) and our LGS fired PMC Bronze, Perfectas and some reloads a friend of his supplies him with, all without failures! I wished our Walmart would carry them, but they don't seem like they want to sell...

Capt Ron - Have you fired the Remington UMC rounds in your BG? These were a nightmare for my BG. My LCP will exhaust whatever UMC rounds I have left, but, after that no more for us! We were having FTFeeds, FTE's and sparks blowing out the ejection port of the BG. Our LGS steered us on to the PMC...

You did okay! If you're happy with the PMC ammo, it pays to keep looking around for sales on it, especially if you can find good prices and free shipping. $11.63 shipping is not bad, seeing that you ordered 4 boxes. Anyway, I think you will be pleased with this ammo. Keep us posted on your next...

Paparoot - Check out my reply post to M&P Bodyguard FTF last round, page 2 of this forum. I replied to BigMax about the sale of PMC Bronze ammo from Target USA Sports. I did a sample order to show amount, and shipping to my state. I had issues with Remington UMC ammo, but my LGS steered me onto...

Big Max - I just went on Target USA Sports site and did an estimate of the PMC Bronze, two boxes @16.99=$33.98 plus $12.91 shipping to my state, total $46.89. About $23.45/box shipped. I noticed you are from Ohio and some sites warn residents of Ohio to check for their local restrictions on...

Just saw PMC Bronze FMJ on sale at Target Sports USA for $16.99/box of 50 no mention of free shipping. Cabela's is priced at $18.99.

Big Max - When I read the above post I can almost feel your smile! I am so happy for the results of your range trip! 75 rounds and only 1 FTFeed and that could have been anything. Keep on shooting and keep us posted. BTW, my best online purchase of the PMC FMJ was with Cabellas just before the...

Hang in there David! I'm sure Smith will get this right! Keep us posted! Rick

BSShorty (oops) - You know what, I was tempted to buy the Bersa at the same time I bought the Bodyguard, but not many of my friends nor I knew that much about them. My LGS said he has never heard of a FTFeed and didn't mention any other failures for the Bersa and showed me the unique inline feed...

Big Max - I had hoped that the return would have solved all your problems! I just don't know anything about Aluminum ammo being used in these small pistols! Usually the failure to hold the slide back on the last round can be associated with magazine problems. Was that one of the problems you...

I am right handed and have always shot long guns left handed. When going into the Army and having to qualify, most DI's seem to think all shooters were meant to shoot right handed. I had trouble trying to shoot right handed and one of the DI's asked me what the problem was and when I told him I...

Wouldn't it be nice if we could rate product satisfaction like we do with rating Netflix movies, Ebay feedbacks and service companies requesting that we complete their customer surveys so that they might in turn improve those areas where they are falling short? Other than providing a return...

M29 - I agree with your comment "might be a combination of faults with gun and ammo!" Hopefully the consumer, you and me, will be able to sort thru it all and find out what works and what doesn't. I fired both the new BG (my wife's) and my new LCP the same range trip and walked away with a smile...

David - I also responded to your first post, as did Capt Ron. He has pointed out to several the importance of cleaning the magazines. Don't know if that will solve all your problems, but take them apart and see if a cleaning will help. My problems with the BG was ammo issues and it took my LGS...

M29 - Sounds like you had better luck with Remington than I did. We had several FTFeeds with Remington UMC FMJ. I was rather disappointed with our first range trip with the Bodyguard. My LCP shot them with no issues. We have since moved on to the PMC Bronze and have had no issues. I have also...
