New 22 RF Pistol. Problem???

[acloco]

Purchased one of these from J & G:

Function and accuracy is good. IMHO, actually, accuracy is VERY good for a 4" barrel.

Handgun is just the right size for my hand and is lightweight.

Problem - a fired case has a bulge just above the rim at the 6 o'clock position. Bulge in the case occurred because whomever made the feed ramp, touched the bottom of the chamber about 1/16" in.

Keep shooting or send it back? No reply from the company that I purchased the pistol from. Will call them tomorrow.

Suggestions?

If it's functioning properly (not jamming), shoots well I don't see an issue . It's not like your going to RELOAD the brass. BUT then again it is a new pistol and should be as such.

Does it rupture any cases? If not shoot it and enjoy it.If you send it back ,then the hassles start.It is a 200.00 gun in the first place and the next one could be worse.

Are there any SERIOUS 22 handgun shooters on this forum??? Any Bullseye shooters???

I am not a bullseye shooter but maybe I can help what do you need?

Done to ensure dependable loading with wide variety of ammo. No problems. Think early Glock pistols with resulting once fired guppy brass.

I had issue with a French target pistol, Unique 69. Pistol function ,shot well, ejected shells, it was the bulge that bothered me above the rim of the case. This was 30 years ago and i believe the problem had to do with the extractor and spring. Replaced them and the bulge went away.
