Feed Problems with a Jennings .22

small world..

I usually take it as a spare gun at the range if one of out 'pack' didn't bring something to shoot.

I just let them 'feed' it and they can shoot it all they want.

it doesn't even have any finish worn off and the plastic grips are fine.

it will digest any 45acp ammo.. it's a heck of a cheap gun..
and as I like to say about my COP 357 4 shot.. when the ammo runs out.. it's either a hand weapon or you can throw it at the badguy and seriously hurt him if you get a face shot..

So it is basically an early version of a hi point?

yeh a Haskell can be used as a club practically....or a bludgeon

I like mine. Cheap stuff that works well means someone did more with less. But I may sell it someday soon to use the money towards a nice 1911.

by what I can glean, yes. Supposedly the Haskell is in one of the old Terminator movies being worn by the adult John Connor in one of the film sequences.

a reliable 7 shot, 45 auto for $160, how can one go wrong ?

there's 2 ways to make something stronger, use better material, or make it bigger. With the Haskell, they made it bigger.

the mainspring is so strong it's difficult to pull back and chamber the first round, you really have to grab it tightly, but with all that spring pressure it'll chamber anything. And they feed-fire-eject remarkably well. What's even more amazing to me is, how accurate it is.

yep.. that's it.

I actually like the all metal mag better than the hi point mag with the clunky plastic bit at the bottom.

I have 2 original Haskell steel mags. I was thinking about having a full set of adjustable sights put on mine.

i have 2 oem stl mags as well. Heck.. the ramp sights on mine are fine for 25yds. I don't suspect I'll do much more with it vs 25yds..
