The Firing Line
Phil's Bourjaily's Glowing Endorsement of Rem 105cti?
Uploaded on January 18, 20093 years ago, Phil reviewed the 105 cti and proclaimed it way out in front of everybody else's semiautos. Well, all I hear and read is how the gun jams, won't shoot light loads, and generally is a pain in the a-- especially considering it's hefty price tag. I even have a friend who manages a gun department at BPS, who shot the gun at a Remmington hosted event, and said even the reps couldn't keep the gun from jamming repeatedly. 3 years later, just wondering if Phil regrets his endorsement or would change anyuthing in his review. Does anybody own one of these who thinks it really IS the best autoloader?? Inquiring minds want to know.

This is what happens when you try to reinvent the wheel. After thousands of rounds without a single jam, I'll stick to my OL'M1 Garand Thank You!
Has anyone seen the movie Gran Torino?
Good flick!
I was wrong about the 105. It happens sometimes. The 105 has proven a disappointment, although it is not as bad as its haters make it out to be; the three 105s I have shot handled everything 1 1/8 ounce and up fine, with the exception of the cheap Winchester ammo that sells in boxes of 100 at Wal-Mart. Those loads are the 105's Achille's heel and the main reason it has a reputation for jamming. They are awful, misshapen shells but to be fair, my Super X2 and my Beretta 391 shoot them with no problem and so should any gun that costs as much as the 105.

What autoloader doesn't have problems with light loads? That being said. My Browning BPS sometimes has problems if I try and pump it to fast, turn that into something that goes faster and why wouldn't there be problems.
