NP22 from NORINCO. Two problems solved

[PECHENEG]

So, when I bought NP22 there were two challenges:
Sig P226 mag acceptance and
Not eating low grain cartridges

Both are solved by shaving the bottom of the magwell
and by going higher grain ammo

Your NP22 doesn’t like lighter bullets? I’ve shot 115 grain exclusively, about 600 rounds of S&B and exactly 1000 rounds of Barnaul, and I’ve had exactly 1 failure to feed (Barnaul) in those 1600 rounds.

I have also shot hundreds of rounds of 115 to 147 with my NP22 and have never had a stoppage. I generally shoot 'Blazer brass 124gr' and looking to start reloading 158 recoil reduced loads for bullseye shooting.

in my NP22, 115 and 124 hit low for me, 147 POI=POA. 124 works great in my 1911.

I've never had a problem with federal aluminum 115gr or the mecgar 226 mags , always function as it should

 

[PECHENEG]

yes mine has a problem with either original mag or Sig P226 with low grains, maybe I have to break it in and / or try 124 etc. With 147 it was a very good accuracy/ precision and no hiccups

Mine eats the 115 grain flawlessly. The only problem I've had with ammo was when I used steel cased ammo. It failed to extract.

Have you tried 124gr 9mm nato ammo? Asking for a friend

Mine has fead 115g. Without a problem so far
