First trip to the range for my new Nightmare Carry. The weather was 44 degrees and very windy. All Rounds were fired at 15 yards, and shot POA/POI. 4 magazines were used, 2 factory and 2 new Checkmates. The magazines have the HYBRID feed lips. I did not function check with magazines with WADCUTTER fee lips.
This handgun performed very well, with no Failures to Feed, Fire, Extract on the following ammo:
24 rounds WWB 230gr FMJ
35 rounds ARMSCOR 230gr FMJ
100 rounds ESTATE 230gr FMJ
10 rounds FEDERAL HYDRASHOK 230gr JHP
10 rounds H.P.R. 230gr JHP
I had issues with RWS 230gr JHP. I loaded 4 mags with it, and tried to slingshot the first round into the chamber...it did not go into battery. I could not pull the slide back, nor force it into battery with a palm strike to the back of the slide. I had to put a rag on the table and shove the frame and pull on the slide. Disassembled and boresnaked the bore. Try again, same thing. Anyway, i managed to get 3 rounds fired. Then fired the second box of EXTATE with no issues. I only had the one .45 at the range, but another shooter had an S&W M&P .45, he was able to chamber 1 without issue. When I got home, I dropped 10 rounds into another barrel with no issues, but if you look at the pictures below, the Nightmare barrel will NOT take all of the RWS, 2nd picture shows one that dropped in. 3rd picture shows 3 different RWS rounds, all look the same, but one chambers.
