Thanks. I put another 80 Mini-Mags through it tonight and it functioned perfectly. I even tried it with the 10th round in the magazine s couple of times and it worked from slide lock. However, I am questioning whether the "target" version was the way to go. The unmodified trigger is so stiff and variable that true target accuracy is a bit difficult to achieve. Without a rest and a good amount of time, a squirrel would be pretty safe from me past about 7 yards. It should work for shooting steel, though.
When I finished with the Mini-Mags I grabbed a handful of bulk pack and thought about loading some in the magazine. Then I decided not to press my luck. Maybe in a few thousand rounds.
