oooh yea ! sweeeet pistol ! nice and clean looking . go out and get to shooting ! lol
there are several great ammo types that shoot great and are affordable ! S&B seems to be a really good one to use and aren't very expensive. These pistols are so accurate that you will hit what you point at. it should only take a shot or two for you to see where it shoots and then it is all good shooting after that ! some have complained about the recoil but many more of us like them as they come. These are great out at 50 yrds also and i think you will be very happy with this finely made pistol. G

Welcome Daniel, Looks like you got a nice 64 there. I've had good luck with S&B and Hornady in mine, S&B is cheaper though. You'll probably read alot about the recoil of these guns, but it isnt bad really. Heres a video of me shooting mine, I'm only 5'7 135 pounds so it should give you an idea of the recoil. http://s48.photobucket.com/albums/f222/ ... -64004.flv
Let us know how she does at the range.

I took it to the range shot 100 hp with no problems. but it would not feed the silver bear fmj at all. lots of jams. It is a great gun Dan

Not to beat a horse or old subject. really really really clean till you think there cant be anything in there ..the slide the extractor the springs the mags,yes mags... I use the silver bear almost exclusively at the range and since I took the advise of all the sages here have had no problems at all any more...

I'm surprised to hear the HP loads and the FMJ doesn't. My first guess would be the mags that the FMJ are in. If it won't feed the FMJ in the SAME mags as the HP, then what could it be?

Is this the 94gr Silver Bear from Barnaul?
