Well finally got to shoot the new PK.
I loaded up the first full size 10 round mag and on the second round it jammed. I thought oh ***** here we go. Long story short I will never buy .22 Remington ammo again. The PK loved Winchester 333 packs. My target pistol malfunctions every single time with those Rems and won't even chamber them but runs like a clock with Winchesters as well and also the Sig.
I probablly put about 500 rounds of the 333's through the PK and only specifically recall one jam with Winchester, only becaues it was one that bent/pinched the casing (kinda ugly). I'm sure it had other minor jams a couple or 3 other times with it but they were few and far between. Was so much fun and few and far between, I didn't pay attention to any jams. The Rems sometimes would work fine for 2-3 mags, then work like ***. After having to use a cleaning rod for the 5th or 6th time to extract the round with Rems, that was it for Rems for me. The 333's were very consistant and didn't spit lead shrapnel into my arms like Rems. My Sig 522 was a little more forgiving with the Rems but choked quite a bit too. Sometimes it made the Sig feel like I was shooting a bolt action rifle HA.
If you're thinking of buying a knockoff Eotech, don't bother. Unless you like a sight that doesn't adjust when you adjust it. The elevation didn't seem to move much but I eventually got it close enough for the type of stuff I would shoot with something like the PK. I will say though that it didn't shift, which is probablly the only good thing about it, other than looking cool. Was very hard to see the reticle in full sunlight, even though I tested it under the brightest light in my house. I did come with flip up sheilds/dust caps, so maybe I will throw those on and see if that makes a diff. It did help when I held my hand over it to help give it some shade, so might help. Couldn't see the center dots at all and could only make out a hint of the outer ring, which would all but totally dissapear once the reticle was over the paper target. When clouds would pass was much better but still dim as hell on full bright setting. The green is impossible to see. Both colors would be fine for an indoor shooting range, no question.
If anybody is interested in several boxes of Rem 525 packs $25 each (what I paid at Big-5) let me know. If not I will force feed them through my ruger, over the next year or two. I have probablly have about ten 525 packs.
Where I was shooting out in the sticks (State Park) A Sheriff/law enforcemnt guy of some sort came buy and we talked about guns for a while. He was holding and checking out the Sig. I keept waiting for him to say something about the PK but he was more interested in the Sig, telling me about his friend that wants to get one. With the PK I thought for sure he would say something like what the hell is that thing? Put your hands up and turn around slowley or something. He was like oh you got a GSG-5 too.
Moral of story Rems not so good. Was kind of fun shooting it from the waist ghetto/rapid fire style too. would be so nice to have the 25 rounders for that though! Thanks CA.
