Calico is making the 100 round 9mm again, I think.
Anyone have experience with this? Not the one of old but the new production. |

Other than some optional railed forends, looks like the same old design to me. 
After years of toying with the idea I just recently SBR'd my 9mm Liberty carbine, I need to take some pics of it.

I had one of the .22s way back when. Took it from the gunshop to the range and right back to the gunshop. I couldn't get more than a few rounds through it before a malfunction. I wouldn't ever consider another .22 but I would give a 9mm a shot. Yup, the .22s, especially the older version, needed some attention to run well. On mine, lube it well, run copper jacketed ammo, and most importantly, be careful loading the mag, just a little misalignment led to a jam. Following these steps, I end up with a jam every 400-500 rounds. All of my 9mm's have been about 100% with nothing but standard lubrication. They run fmj, hp, even some cast lead a couple times. I really think most of the hate came from people hearing someone talk about the .22 and just assuming they were all like that. |

I had one back in the early 90's. It ran well. Fun to shoot. Accurate. It did have some FTF, but it had more to do with the magazine loading. If you didn't wind it correctly, or over wind it. The 50 round worked better. Overall, I would do it again if lived in the US. |
