Frequently, one reads on the chat room of some internet forum how the writer just loves a particular handgun. In the next post, another participant tells how his specimen of the same model jams frequently. It may be that the first writer owns a particularly good sample while the other got one made on Friday as they used to say. Part of the difference may lie in the types of ammunition being used in the two pistols. Certain types of pistols function much better with some types of ammunition than with others. For example, some older pistols were designed to handle standard-velocity loads by making use of a rather soft recoil spring. Modern high-velocity loads should not be used in such models. Still other pistols seem to function best with high velocity loads. Ammunition such as CCI Stinger and Quik-Shok is produced with a case length that is approximately 0.1 inch longer than the standard 22 LR case. It should come as no surprise that such ammunition might not feed reliably in certain semiautomatic pistols.
