I bought a PPQ.22lr as a starter handgun for the folks that go with me to the range and have never shot. It's a nice looking gun and definitely feels like my PPQ.45 in almost all aspects.
However, I was cleaning it before I went out to the range and while I was using my nylon brush, I noticed that the black paint on the surfaces inside the slide was coming off to expose the metal--it was somewhat disappointing. I assume the Cerakote must only be on the outside slide and barrel. I doubt it will impact the performance of a .22 plinking pistol but still.
Only have 100 rounds of Remington Golden Bullet go through it and had at least 1 round in every 10 round magazine either fail to fire or fail to go into battery.
I had the same sort of experience with my CCP that is also a fixed barrel design until I found the ammo it likes to eat. So I plan to give it more time and try CCI Mini-Mags next but wanted to see if anyone else has had that same experience.
