Actually, I've heard that the OMC is junk. Most of the small stainless
guns, stainless autos in general, have problems because the metal galls
and robs the slide of a lot of recoil energy.
In general small autos and even things like .45 ACPs have problems. I have
two Gold Cups, very lovingly honed and polished and used only at the range
with full power loads which hang up a good deal.
If you're thinking of this for a defense gun or a house gun I'd recommend
a revolver instead. I've just never owned an autoloader that didn't hang
from time to time. Hell, at the IPSC world's the guns of most of the top
ten finishers had misfeeds or ejection failures, including World Champ Rob
Leatham. He's just so good that a couple of gun failures couldn't stop him.
If a $2500 custom pistol can't be reliable.....
Good luck with your choice, regardless of the action type (just because I'm
a reliability freak...)
