Thread: Zastava EAA M88 9x19mm Pistol Feeding Problem

Edited to add, how do you like that gun? Does it have hammer bite? Had a chinese 9mm Tok I converted to 7.62x25. Was a fun gun just bit me everytime I shot it. These are very nice guns and have one of the original with wood grips in like new condition, have never had any...

These were handloaded to just under maximum overall length, however, I've tried a lot of different...
