Colt 1911, .22 cal Question.

[Bart68]

This is my Colt .22 made by Walther, it has been a very reliable shooter with never a hiccup, shoots any ammo I feed it..

That is until my last outing, it was/is stove piping, I only brought American Eagle shells but they are 40 grain and I do
think it's the first time using that ammo in this gun, however I normally just use whatever is cheapest and never an issue, i'm
taking the 1911 out today with a couple of other kinds of rounds as well as the American Eagles to see if it's the gun or the ammo.

I clean my guns every time I return from the range and the slide action is smooth, but I was wondering if anyone else has had
this issue with American Eagle?

Most .22 caliber pistols are ammo sensitive, doesn't surprise me at all that you found a brand that doesn't work in your gun. Every single .22 pistol I have owned has one or two brands it just won't cycle reliably. The only ammo I have absolutely no trouble with in any .22 are CCI Mini Mags in 40 grain, seems to work in everything I've owned so I no longer play with cheap ammo and use CCI in everything

I agree, feed a gun crap ammo & expect crap results.

So does my wifes S&W 22 A-1 and my S&W 617 but that wasn't the question.

Thank you I will have to check that out, but I haven't had a chance yet to try the ammo in my gun,
was thinking today but it's a little chilly out so maybe next week.

My GSG 1911 .22lr, Colt .22lr conversion unit, & Ceiner .22lr conversion unit all seem to like American Eagle .22lr ammo.

Quick solution would be to just not use that ammo in your pistol.
