I just picked up a used gen 2 PT145 (DA/SA, no rail with frame that looks like a 709 slim). At any rate I am well pleased with my purchase and expect to shoot this pistol a lot. My problem is that my cast reloads are nose-diving in the mag at about shot 4-6. I want to try to reconcile this issue before I get out shooting next time. In your experience does this sound like:
1. an ammo problem
2. a magazine problem
3. something else
Bullet is a cast Lee 235gr lead RNFP bullet shot alox lubed unsized.
Mag lips seemed rather tight to me and that was my first concern. May also have encountered some "fat" cast bullets and am pursuing that angle also. Read thru the "Last Mag Thread" and made adjustments to 1 mag.
Jams occured with 2 different mags and 2 different shooters. Limp wristing has never been an issue with the CZ 40b, PT140, 709slim, KelTec pf9, Ruger 9mm, Glock 10mm or Kimber 45acp that I own or have shot.
Thanks all for your input on this issue. Good shooting, Bruce H
