Mixed Bag on Range today

I had mixed results today on the range. Accuracy was ok. Here are the initial targets for each weapon. Two had not been fired before:

VBOB 10 yds new gun

Valor

Sig P238 .380acp

2. Reliability. Valor and P238 fired fine. No problems, multiple clips. However, I had some strange results with the VBOB. First two mags were fine (wilson 47d). On round 5 of the 3rd mag, I got a double shot.. bam bam . Tried it again with 2 rounds in the mag and same result. Changed to factory mag which ran fine. Problem solved...not so fast GI. I try to chamber a round on a 3rd mag (the one that came with it, and the gun would not go into battery. I cleared the weapon and took it apart. No apparent problems so I tried to put it back together. It felt 'sticky' but was not dry. Oil showed some buildup of carbon but I would not consider it overly wet with oil. I 'played' with it for a while and for no apparent reason, the gun freed up and I could rack it with no problems. Very strange. Anyone have an idea? i will call DW tomorrow.

So, mixed results and some concern.

Thanks for the RR, how you get your issues worked out! BTW, nice shootin' tex!

If that nut you shot with today wasn't there none of this would have happen.

He carries bad ju-ju in his range bag.:D

Hey Ed, had a good time! We need to do this regularly although your Karma is suspect. ;)

Thanks for a fun afternoon.

So the Wilson mags acted up, but DW mags didn't? I've had mixed issues with my Wilson 47 d so I switched to chip McCormick and did have my issues which were the double tap in 2 diff guns with the Wilson's and wouldn't put last rd into chamber same 2 guns.

Ed and Mike went shooting together? Where's the pictures to prove Ed was there?

His bad karma broke my new weapon. I wasn't about to risk my cell phone or camera. ;)

Update: V-BOB trouble

Keith immediately said send the gun in for inspection and work. Waiting on the shipping label.
