Sharpshooter
Recently bought a SW22A and after only a hundred rounds or so I started having FTE and stovepiping on just about every shot. I quickly field stripped it and discovered that the Slide insert had broken in the area where the Recoil pin and spring go through. I can not post pictures yet so here is a link to a someone elses picture that I found.
Smith & Wesson 315540000 SLIDE INSERT Reviews | Buzzillions.com
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. Could it be from the type of ammo I have used. I initially just used a few rounds of Remington hollow points (all I had initially) I have since tried Remington thunderbolt and CCI 22LR.
I have some federal 22 now but discovered the break before I could use them.
Any ideas would be helpful.
I did call SW and they are sending me a replacement insert.
