ProTsc-1911 - Hands On

[timtriple]

Picked mine up on Friday just been to range and getting lots of light strikes with both Mini Mag and Remington about every second shot!

Recock hammer and it fired okay

Any idea

Last weekend my ProTSC had 2 light strikes in about 200 rounds (should have had more ammo ). I got about the same rate in my Ruger 10/22 - so I'm wondering if its ammo & not gun. Can you shoot the same ammo batch in something else to rule that out ?

Hi Dave

It was about 3 times every tens shots (ie every mag full) and as said tried two makes of ammo with same result

I'd suggest stripping it & make sure there are no signs of excess rubbing. The slide will probably bed down after a bit, but it should have a small amount of lube on it.

Well stripped it gave a good oiling then today not confident in taking it down one of local clubs so drove down to The Tunnel where Richard made me most welcome and tried it. He fired off 30 rounds no problem then left me to get through another 200, fed and fired faultless apart from a couple.

Richard said just like having a new car with a rattle when you take it back to dealers?

We think maybe sticking firing pin due to be new and oiling freed it up.

It was great fun, tried with cheap standard velocity and mini mag, now to work on accuracy

Good-oh !

Dave,

Have you found any issues with your barrel retaining screw loosening up? The thread on my screw completely stripped and we had to use helicoils to fix it. Now that screw has been loctited in.

What sort of grouping can you get at 25yards? The best ive managed is about 3-4 inches.
