Disappointment struck today just glad that when I am at the range taking target practice I always observe how the gun reacts with new types of ammo. Purchased some 1776 USA ammo maybe a couple weeks ago as it is a lead free composite round and at around $20 for a 50 count box figured why not give it a shot and see. First two rounds went off flawless then as I started to pull the trigger on the third nothing. Noticed that my pistol was jammed. Stopping to clear the jam dropped the magazine out jammed casing falls to the ground and the slide shuts. Then noticed that the jammed round the projectile was broken and the piece was still in the chamber of my 1911. Had I not looked the firearm and the jammed round over prior to restarting it could have been catastrophic. Just a reminder safety should always be practiced when at the range and when your weapon malfunctions check it before you chamber that next round. Needless to say I have contacted the company about the issue. Be careful out there everyone.
