Default Found a wild 9mm Specialist
Couldn't help but pick it up!







Ran 210 rounds perfectly last night.
150 American Eagle 115gr
25 S&B 140gr Flat Nose
25 PPU 158gr Sub Sonic
10 Speer 124gr Gold Dot

CMC 10 round mags worked pretty good. No FTF at all, but a few failures to lock back. But it was getting very dirty at the end of the run, and its very very tight right now as well.
The stock mags ran about the same as the CMC. No feed issues but failure to lock back every time started to show up near the 150 round mark.

I will admit the 115 american I was shooting felt pretty light for some reason. The speer locked back with no issues all the time, and the other two random loads were pretty good as well.
