Just picked up a PT-22 PLYSS
Broke in with over 300 rounds of Federal Spitfire
Consistent issues:
Failure to Eject
Failure to Feed
The pistol, even after the 300 round mark would often times fail to eject a round from the chamber. Most often the ejecting
round would stovepipe but also frequently the spent casing would still be seated firmly in the chamber when the slide came
forward, but a few times it would try to feed a second round into the still filled chamber.
Just for reference, I am aware that some pistols may have issues with failing to feed or eject due to a limp wrist. I was a
marksmanship instructor in the Marine Corps as well as an expert myself, I am utilizing proper technique.
If it did manage to eject the previous round, just as often it would fail to feed another round into the chamber. Either the
slide would come forward on an empty chamber or the slide would get stuck stripping the round from the magazine. A few
times it did get the round out of the magazine, but failed to seat it into the chamber and the round went sideways and the
slide dented the casing coming forward on it. If I actually was able to fire several consecutive shots I was surprised. No
amount of oil or grease remedied these issues.
First shot seemed more likely to stick in the chamber than others, but other shots did as well. Seemed to be slightly more
reliable on the second half of the magazine.
Intermittent Issue:
Double fire
Firing upon sending the slide home
The pistol several times fired two shots at once.
Once even fired upon sending the slide forward. This occurred when the pistol failed to strip a round from the magazine and
when tapping the rear of the slide with my palm to assist it forward it went home and fired.
Another quirk:
I understand the pistol holds 8+1, but why is it that the magazine will allow the insertion of 9 rounds? I've done that and
the magazine wont seat in the pistol until you remove the extra round.
