Again if the boberg works OK accept it as such, It was never meant to be a range gun IMO;. If u carry it 24/7 and getting hit mayb ewith the brass in a SHITF situation thing aobut eh bad guy who is gettig hit wit what was on the end of that brass round at one time.. Jut sayin

    I have never been attracted to the Boberg, so in all honesty, I felt what he did was a engineering feat but again why try to reinvent the wheel was my thougts to, but thats why I don't ow one and you own two..
    I agree being a lefty is a big factor when it comes to getting hit with the brass.

    And yes the bad guy would be getting the worst of it!

        The slide doesn't lock back, because you have to pull the slide back to put the new round onto the lift plate. If the slide locked back, you'd have to release it, then pull it back again to move the round onto the lift plate, so it would get moved up into place for the slide to move it into the chamber.
        I suppose they could have made it so the slide locked back when the mag was empty, with the next round already on the lift plate. Best thing to do is count the rounds, then when the last round is chambered switch mags. I know that seems a little much, but that's the only solution I've come up with. I too had a few rounds get hung up by not pulling the slide all the way back and the round getting hung up in the feed mechanism. Didn't take long to figure out to pull the slide all the way back when loading the first round. But I still really like the gun, despite is peculiarities. And most SD situations they say only 2-4 shots are exchanged. So hopefully it won't be a problem in a real life situation. I'm right handed and still got beaned on the head quite a few times by empty cases.

          Yes Tman, I still like the gun as well. It's in my carry rotation but usually as a back up.

          What kind of SD round do you use with the Boberg. I use HST 124gr most of the time.
