So, I carry either G9 or Lehigh/Underwood Xtreme Defender in my G17(HD), G48(carry) and G42...every once in a while I'll rotate the older stuff by buying new, same type, go the range and shoot the older stuff.
Well, 2 weeks ago I did that with all the Glocks..BUT had 2 'failures' with G42, never have had that before(2500-3000 rounds)..a stove pipe, and a fail to feed/jam. The G17 and G48 worked 100%.
So, bought some Hornady JHP .380, shot that yesterday, no issues, no problems other than the 60 rounds I bought was $90 with shippingeek.
BUT 2 points, I guess.
-test your carry ammunition
-I have carried the 42 for 5 months w/o shooting it because of COVD/outdoor range being closed(Fire danger)..so wonder if carrying it, it got gunked up, linted up or something...so maybe, even tho you don't shoot it but carry it a lot..clean it.
