I have an ISSC .22 pistol that has been a problem from the start. It will not extract, leaving the ccase in the chamber and jamming every time now. I cleaned it thoroughly and it still did it. I sent it back to Legacy Sports, the distributor/importer, and it came back in 2 days saying some work had been done and it had been test fired with Rem Golden Bullets and one other brand I don't recall right now. I took it out on Saturday with high velocity Federals, and it did the same thing - every time.

Anyone else have one of these? With the shortage of .22 LR ammo, it sucks if I have to use a specific brand to make the gun work.

CH did you clean the chamber thoroughly?

Yes, and the extractor, etc. After it came back from the warranty repairs, and they had cleaned it as well, it still failed on the very first shot. I tried 5 more shots and gave up. So the very first shot after a factory cleaning, too, failed to extract. I'll be contacting them again to see what they say. I was just curious as to whether this is an isolated event or if others have run into it with this make of pistol.

Hi Calif Hunter,

Have you tried different brands of ammo? Some 22's are very picky about what they like.

Coincidently,the gunsmith at Legacy Sports just called and said that he had personally test-fired my pistol before it left with Golden Bullets and Mini-Mags. He said that the ISSC .22 pistols are very ammo sensitive and need the "really" high velocity ammo. "Regular" high velocity ammo may not have enough force to open the slide all the way, which means the empty case may not eject and ends up going back into the chamber, He said Rem Golden Bullets work well (except for the occasional dud) as does the hyper-velocity ammo like Stingers, Mini-Mags, etc.
