At the advise of more then a few people, I tried the Blue bullet in 125 gr 9 mm for my new Citadel 1911. After about 175 rounds I noticed the slide would not go forward enough and literally get stuck. With much pounding I was finally able to get it free and found that there was a lot of debris in the chamber preventing the cartridge from dropping all the way in.It took a lot of scrubbing to get the chamber clean and I tried the Blue ones again. Sure enough, just today 175 rounds later the slide is not going forward enough again. My shooting partner, who uses Berrys plated bullets tried one of his in my fouled chamber and it dropped straight in. Luckily my shooting partner, is a guy that travels with everything you might need ? He had a bore cleaning bush and some solvent and I was able to clean the barrel and were able to continue our drills.
I shouldn't have to do this. My partner has the same gun and doesn't have this problem. Has anyone else noticed this? I find it hard to believe that this blue bullet company could have gotten this large and popular if their coating creates this problem. Suggestions?
As an afterthought, when I first bought the gun I fired about 250 rounds of factory ammo in one sitting with no troubles as I waited for my 9 mm dies to get here from Dillion.
