| seabee1984, I am happy to say that I just shot the gun again with no jams, though I am now shooting right handed, I am able to secure the safety better now not sure if that is practice or shooting right handed but it appears that the problem is done. I knew it wasn't the gun. I do not shoot reloads, have tried several brands of ammo and in the beginning was having the problem but took everyones advise and kept on working on my grip. Love the gun. Cleaning was never an issue as i am a neat freak, so that gun gets cleaned and oiled everytime its used. It was all me and not keeping an even grip; but I am happy to say that I think I've mastered it now. thanks so much for the tips |
