I didn't know the Cheetah came in .22LR. I thought they only came in .380, learn something new every day.

Very nice!!!

Hey Jay.. does your 87 cheetah jam often? Mine seems to jam up at least once per clip. Kind of takes the fun out of shooting it. I chalked it up to the .22 round not having very much recoil, and thus, the 87 has a weak spring.

[JayBell]

nope, so far works fine.
using enuff loading?
try various high velocity stuff, could be it doesn't like truncated cone , or HP, or what you are shooting.

I've been using Remington 'golden bullet' high velocity hollowpoints.. they're pretty cheap, and I go through a lot of them. Perhaps I should try switching ammo.

I have a beretta 21A .22 cal and have had problems with jams. I switched to CCI ammo (mini MAG and Stinger). Haven't had any problems since. I was getting the jams with Remington Golden. Of course, there is a cost trade off, but for reliability, its worth it.

This probably doesn't matter at all, but i have had jamming problems with Remington .40 in my usp. Winchester showed no problems....i'm starting ot question Remington all around.
