I have a Glock 29. Picked up some Double Tap 10mm which only keyholes. Money down the drain.
More disturbing is some Hornady 180gr XTP, which I purchased about a month ago. I load up five rounds alternating with the DT for an ammo comparison. Then I fire off another 5 since I always carry Hornady. I look down on the bench and there are two 10mm cases. Both Hornady but one with a nasty split. I cull those two cases and figure must have been a weak piece of brass. Snapped a picture and counted my fingers.
Then as I am packing my gear away I start to sweep up my ammo for reloading. I find another three ruptured cases. One case is nearly split from case mouth to head!
So if you use Hornady for carry in your sidearm I would highly suggest testing to make sure your ammo doesn't have the same issue. My lot # is 3141912
First case I found:
Then a picture of all 3 cases:
