First off I enjoy the S&W Victory. However I have been noticing a trend that is concerning. I came from using a WELL used Ruger Mark II with THOUSANDS of rounds in it with little issue. Wanted something new and picked up a Victory.
-First couple hundred rounds I had to tweak the ejector.
-Weird slide lock issue where sometimes the slide seems to just be stuck. Didn't matter CCI, Winchester, Federal, Aguila, etc. I picked up a captured spring but that has been a new addition so jury is still out.
-Lost an ejector+plunger at about 1k rounds. Went to go to the range this AM and missing the ejector+plunger again. At least I can use this as an excuse to upgrade.
-Picked up two new mags. Kept them loaded for 2 days to keep from the heavy spring issue. Unfortunately with those two mags sometimes the slide will not go into full battery and requires me to slap it. In addition loading those mags is troublesome. Thought I was being an idiot and had someone else try. The rounds just fall pointing up half the time. Seems like they are too tight?
Really don't want to ditch it but I don't remember these issues with the well worn Ruger. Anyone else have issues?
