CZ93X62
Official forum enigma
I agree with the other posters above--I don't think the bullets' finished dimensions are the O/P's problem. There is a subtle flaw someplace.
How does the pistol actually SHOOT? Gotta remember the old GI 1911A1 accuracy standard here--"Minute of #2 washtub at 50 yards". I have a Series 80 Gold Cup in 45 ACP that is superbly accurate with loads it likes, and feeds my usual 45 ACP carry load (WWB 230 JHP) reliably. It's a daisy, indeed. Its 45 ACP bunkmate is a SIG P-220. Not quite as accurate, but CERTAINLY "Minute of B-27 8-bottle at 50 yards". Both are very capable pistols.
Ask yourself 'What do I want from this pistol?' A new barrel, OEM or aftermarket, is always an option. As hobbyists & enthusiasts, we can get wrapped around axles over minutiae and very quickly the wagon is going nowhere. My tendency is toward "If it runs well, shoots well, and doesn't turn itself into a lead mine in 3 magazine loads--it's probably good to go, at least as a carry gun. And--last but not least--you can always opt for jacketed bullets (HORRORS!) or (dare I say it.....) FACTORY AMMO. Awful to contemplate, but there it is there.
To the onlooker--my tongue is not fully lodged in my cheek quite yet. Close, though.
