I was just at the range with my 2 CPO P220 SIGs. It was the first time that I've shot them side by side: same pistol, identical sights, nearly identical trigger, same American Eagle ammo, everything.
About halfway through (100 rounds/50 each) it was apparent that one CPO was shooting better than the other. One consistently grouped well, the other seemed to have some wild fliers on every target. On my last 50 rounds the magazine on the poorly grouping P220 was sticking badly when I hit the mag release to reload so I used the magazine from the better shooting P220. And what do you think happened? The poorly shooting P220 shot nearly on par with it's twin.
I'm just wondering if a poorly functioning magazine can affect how a bullet seats in the chamber as I know that there's always a bit of difference between seating the first round and the subsequent rounds fed from the magazine.
Any opinions? Thanks.
