I have experienced his problem and there is no solution except to have the barrel throated ( if that is possible). I have 2 Canik and 2 CZ pistols. There is no leade in the barrels and an oversized...

I took the battery in question by an Advanced Auto and had it load tested. It was about 85% of rated CCA. I am going to keep the core as it will fit in an old car I have. The tester they used was a...

I have the same problem. My problem is/was with a CZ 75 and 2 Canik pistols. I blame the European CIL chamber. There is no leade or throat in the front of the chamber.
