Ok so the Swiss 1889 is technically an antique in most of the country but NJ is complex for no reason. It has a 12 round magazine which was on uncommon for the time and it is detachable so you can clean it and replace damaged magazines. It's a bolt action and versions of the magazine were used in the 1896 which was an improvement to the 1889 and a small 6 round magazine similar to the 12 round magazines were used in 1900 and 1905 short rifles. Also if it matters you can't get 7.5x53.5 ammo unless you reload for it. Some people have modified the 1911 series of Swiss guns (also bolt actions just new guns using the new ammo 7.5x55) to use these magazines cause they wanted 12 rounds instead of the standard 6 round magazines. Now is it legal? Like I am not getting one if I have to pin a magazine that is worth like $150 cause of 2 rounds
I think this ammo was bought during the pandemic where it seems like quality control went out the window.
I should have taken a picture of the primers today after shooting. Some had some pretty deep indents.
I shoot da/sa. The thing that was a bit alarming was sometimes it didn't go off on the second attempt of dropping the hammer and sometimes it did.
It’s possible it’s the ammo. Try a box of something from Federal-Federal primers are known to be the ‘softest’. If you get misfires still, the gun is again the prime suspect
of course you’ll ultimately want it to run with any ammo, but I’ve known revolvers that can’t seem to get to 100% ignition double action with any other primer
I've been getting light primer strikes lately with my CZ. It's happening mostly with some remington 9mm I bought.
It has an extended firing pin and is certainly hitting the primer so I don't believe it's that. Maybe the spring needs replacement?
I did the pencil test and the pencil flew about 7 feet. Is it just hard primers/crappy ammo?
Gun has about 7/8k rounds through it.
