Best Ammo Choices for Ruger P95DC?

I have a Ruger P95DC that I have had for a little over a year and a half. I usually buy the winchester 9mm target rounds from walmart. The problem is that it jams every so often. The last time I went to the range I went through a 100 round box and it jammed twice. The round has no problem firing but the cartridge does not eject from the gun. My dad has a Walther P22 that he recently got and it is very picky with ammo if he gets some cheper ammo the slide will sometimes not come back and catch the next round. I am thinking part of my problem is that the ammo I am using is not powerful enough to bring the slide back and eject the spent cartridge. All the fourm post I read talk about how the p95 eats anything you put through it but mine seems picky. Do you think there is a problem with the gun or does any one have a suggestion on a better brand/type of ammo to use? I clean the gun every time I leave the range. Thanks, Jake.

That target ammo is a lighter load than standard stuff. Get the Blazer Brass at Wally World instead. The price is about the same and it's a little heavier load so should solve your problem. It works fine in my P95DC.

Look on the box of your ammo and see what velocity it is. Then pick something that is a little faster and give it a try !!
