CCI Mini-mag for 1911-22

[ArchiePerry]

How dows it feel to shoot?

The CCI velocitor has a nice pop that almost feels like a real recoil... almost. certainly much better than the other stuff I have shot such as those 333 packs, yellow jackets, etc.

The CCI Stinger feels terrific, lots of umph.

What does the CCI MINI-MAG feel like?
Half the cost of a stinger, but are the savings worth it?
I'm tempted just to buy 5000 stingers but maybe I just aught to get a .45 and be done with it.

The mini mags have a decent pop, not like the stingers though.

You and I might "like" them but will your pistol? I've owned two "high end" uppers for my 1911 and neither manufacturer recommend those types of loads. Remember ole Isacc. That slide is going to fly back fiercely. That may take a toll of the pistol. My guns seem to prefer middle- of- the- road CCI Blazers. I found the waxy coating on the minimags gummed up the breach. Blazers are reliable and the price is good particularly in bulk. Often it's not the gun that fusses on .22's but the magazines. My CMMG rifle mags preferred the slightly shorter Federal Hollow Points. YMMV but if you want "zing" buy a SIG .357 or its uncle and enjoy.
