It didn't do too well on saturday, had several FTF and a stovepipe with the can on it. I'll give it a good cleaning and try some different ammo, but that's no good."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

That sucks man! I ran about 400 through my sig 1911-22 yesterday and had no issues. Shot CCI, thunderbolts, and golden bullets, it had no problems with any of them and shot awesome! Hope you have better luck after cleaning it.Originally posted by CJ View PostIt didn't do too well on saturday, had several FTF and a stovepipe with the can on it.

Yeah I sold it, it just wasn't reliable enough for me. I was told I just needed to shoot it more, or not load the mags all the way. Steve was awesome at MGS. When I first shot it I got feeding problems, and it would never strip the first round off the mag. I noticed the barrel had an obstruction (bad machining I suppose). I took it back up to MGS and we did find the barrel was messed up, so he swapped it for a new one. With the new barrel it had the same issues. I expect all my .22's to work flawlessly, if they jam or give me any issues I don't want them. It shot well and it was reasonable reliable with the new barrel, but I just didn't like the size and weight. I'm looking for another MKII/III now.Originally posted by Trick Pony View PostI saw that you sold it on THF. Did you shoot it much without the can? I was curious if it was reliable unsuppressed.
The real issue with it is it didn't respond well to being dirty, and when you put a can on a blowback gun it will get dirty QUICKLY. I would guess they get about 3x dirtier in the same amount of rounds as unsuppressed."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

As for reliability, any .22 blowback gun should become much more reliable WITH a can attached because it boosts the pressures considerably, making the gun cycle much harder. So if it doesn't run with a can, you're sol without one."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
