Re: Poll: Which ammo gives you the least failure to fires out of a PT series pistol

Haven't had any ammo related problems with mine. Pistols can be ammo sensitive and what works in mine may not work in yours even if it is an similar example of the same model.WWB is what I use most for practice and SilverBear is right behind. Could be mechanical malfunction, limp wristing, or the other reasons posted by others. Sometimes bad habits creep in and we are unaware of them until we catch them ourselves or someone else points the problem out.Dirt can get in some frustrating places. Lots of people have to be reminded to clean even the firing pin channel and not to lube it.

Hard to mistake 9 by18 for 9mm. Luger. I shoot both type of pistol and ammo regularly and the 9 by18 stands out in stark contrast to the longer cased Parabellum ammo. I never shoot the 2 different sizes on the same day just as a precaution. Back on track. Since there are many reasons why a pistol will fail to fire or fail to eject, it is in the best interests of all of us to aquaint ourselves with as many possibilities as one can. That's partly why we are here. ;D

Can we say catatstrophic faliure and blow up for using 9 by 18 in a .380 or 9mm. Luger, if is possible to chamber a round? I knew you could. ;D Pressures in the chamber would go off the meter and overstress every bit of metal in the area. Not to say what the result would do to the shooter and gun. Don't try this at home boys and girls. We have professional idiots for that. ;D : Will know kick this :soapbox: back under the table. :thumb: :clap: :yipee: :yipee:
