This will be brief & to the point(s)...
Magazines used:
(2) Factory Colt 38 Super
(1) Ed Brown 38 Super that came with the Stakeout
Ammo Used:
(Factory) Aguila A +P 130 gr. FMJ RN - 1.267" C.O.A.L. (50 rds.)
(Reloads)
Blue Bullets 125 gr. RN Coated w/mixed brass - 1.251" C.O.A.L. (50 rds.)
Blue Bullets 125 gr. RN Coated w/mixed Super Comp brass - 1.269" C.O.A.L. (25 rds.)
RMR 115 gr. FMJ Mini-Match Winner TCFP w/mixed brass - 1.240 C.O.A.L. (50 rds.)
The pistol performed very well & unlike me at times, it was quite accurate!
However, there was one recurring (6 or 7 times) issue with the factory Aguila 130gr FMJ rounds. Specifically, those 6 or 7 rounds chambered, though not completely - i.e., the slide stopped approximately 3/16" proud of the receiver. Moderate thumb pressure on the back of the slide & all went into battery.
Aside from the aforementioned, the Stakeout ran like a scalded dog, with zero hiccups.
As was (also) mentioned in a YouTube Stakeout review, there are those less than ideal tooling marks inside the slide, at the ejection port. That & finish marring on the slide exterior, aft of the port ... I determined that the latter marring was caused by the bore brush that Tisas crammed into the factory case lid.
