A buddy of mine has one of these and is having a terrible time with jamming. One thing to note is that he is the buddy who never cleans a gun before he shoots it, and rarely cleans them after shooting them. Let us know how yours works!

Bought one at a close price.... found a Charles Daley in a pawn shop for $200 about 5-8 years ago.

Jammed like crazy. $50 later and a port and polish job it runs 230gr ball flawlessly.

Its the nicest $250 .45 I've ever seen :grin:

Nice looks fun!!! Don't be surprised if it only runs CCI Mini Mags(or other similar ammo). A lot of the "full size" .22 handguns need them to cycle the heavy slide. Or so I've heard.

I expected it to be all a .22LR can do to cycle the action when I bought it. Reckon that's why the slide has so much slck in it. Rattles back and forth like an irate lawyer's toungue. Haven't got around to shooting it yet.
