    I took out my new Sub 2000 for the first time and I got about 10% FTF. I don't think it was the magazines, because I used four different mags of varying ages that work fine in my Glock 23Gen4. The ammo is Sellier and Bellot 180gr FMJ. Any tweaks out there?

    what round was it? my first time out ftf 9th round of every 10 round mag magazine. 10 times in a row. once i switched to synthetic oil for lube it ran great. just work it in and it will run good. these things just like a lot of lube. keep running it. really liked alum fed ammo.

    The round varied. I usually keep my guns fairly dry. I'll try a slightly heavier lube coating next time I'm out. Thanks.

    What oil do you use?

    Try different ammo. Some times they can be fickled. If it's a brand new firearm, like others have said, try a different lube. It's hard to pin it down exactly. How far into the process before you have a problem? Is it striping a new round from the mag and then jamming or is it missing the round in the mag completely?
