Grrr...up at the range today I made the discovery that my new Tok won't chamber my handloaded 9mm's...slide won't close all the way (I do use the Lee Factory crimp die). I took my M&P along just because, and it fired the handloads with no problems. Didn't have any factory ammo with me to try out, but now have a box of Blazer Brass to (hopefully) run thru it next time. The slide is a real bugger to pull back with bare hands on a cold day. Colour me annoyed at this point. I await the baying of the CGN hounds...

Nice, now $125 later we know: no one wants to post pics (I'm just wondering why) that it's fugly (I guess fugly a lot) has sharp edges, does have owner manual with broken EnGrish and it's not chambering, ejecting or shooting...well sounds like it was made in China to me :D

Well, I'm not panicking yet. I may have to tweak the handloads somewhat (maybe adjust the crimp die or oal). Will let you know what the Tok makes of the factory ammo. I was crabby earlier (frustrating range outings do that to me).

Disassemble your pistol and try the reloads individually into just the barrel chamber. If they won't drop in/drop out easily then likely your brass is not properly resized all the way to the base... ;)

Try it with 'factory ammo' too on the drop in/drop out test.

Likely, the pistol/chamber is fine.... it's just your reloads.
 
I just picked up my m213 from the post office it is a little ruff some scratches and rub marks but all in all I am very happy with it for $99. The slide was tight and would stick when I racked it but after I cleaned and oiled it it seems to work fine. I will take it to the range tomorrow. I took some pic's I don't know if they are any good but here you go any way.

Read the note between instruction 6 & 7. The spring can fly out at very high speed (at least on the Tokarev). I know because I embarrassed myself at the range one day disassembling mine to clear a jammed case. I lost the recoil spring end downrange in a giant pile of spent cases. Very embarrassing :redface:
