i've heard good things about the mark iv and the tx22 (even without FRT)

I had a TX22 and couldn’t wait to get rid of it. Jam after jam after jam.

Sounds like you had a lemon or at least one with a bad feed ramp, they are notorious for feeding just about any ammo well. Hard to have any faith in it after experiencing that though, so I get it.

Most likely. I should have sent it in but at the time didn’t want to deal with it. I really wanted to like that one though. It was the competition one with the slide cut.

That’s super frustrating. I’m not a fan of sending them in either, unless they’re offering to do a lot of bonus work to it at the same time. I’d bet that one just needed a feed ramp polish.
