Round 784, a sketchy gun show reload, had a case failure. It felt +p+++, and I am thankful for eyepro. The next round (785) failed to chamber. This is the stoppage loggged above. Tap-rack had the gun ready to fire again, but I stopped and cleared the weapon to inspect for damage. No damage found. Test continued without incident.

Cool! Thanks for the review.

Still less than 500 rnds from mine, I think. Some 115 gr Russian Brown Bear, (@35) Remington 115 gr JHP (100), Golden Saber 124 gr +p (100) , Hornady 124 gr XTP +p (25), Gold Dot 124 gr (35) and a few boxes of Geco and Fiocchi 115 gr FMJ.

No problems.

Swap in a 12# Wilson Combat B92 hammer spring. It really improves the DA and is still 100% reliable.

Thanks for reminding me. It has the D spring from Beretta, which I just edited into the OP.
