I have a Winchester Model 94AE that I use as my main match gun. It is in .45LC, and it gives me no problems whatsoever.
That said, I'm used to the 94 action because I've owned one in .30-30 for years (although its an old one and not the AE, it still has the same "throw"). You have to be firm with it, there's no halfway with the Winchester. You gotta work that lever like you mean it. Also, I've had pards try to feed their personal loads through it and have it jam up on em. It's VERY round-length specific. As long as I'm shooting off the shelf cowboy rounds or my own loads, it works fine. If the length is just a little off, it wont feed. Nature of the beast. Since it feeds what I give it, and I'm used to the aciton, it works fine for me as a main match weapon. Since thats not what you want it for, I say go for it. You'll have to experiment on what length yours likes, but once you do its a nice gun to shoot.
