I was at the range about a month ago and put 100 rounds of my practice ammo...230gr MagTech through my 145. After finishing, like I always do, I ran two mags of 230gr HydraShok JHP's through the gun as well. The first mag was cycled through by pulling the slide back, by hand, then releasing into battery. The second mag was cycled by releasing the locked back slide, using the release button. Both cycled flawlessly, as they always have. I have been performing this process since I started shooting semi-auto weapons. I only found one that would not sysle reliably both ways and I have sold that gun. It was a 5" Colt 1991.
I have found that the MagTech ammo shoots to the same point of aim as the HydraShoks, but much, much cheaper.
