I got myself today Canik TP9 Sfx, that I am planning to have as a new primary home defense gun (taking over from CZ75). The problem is that even I have enough FMJ’s, I have maybe 50 rounds combined of two different kinds of hollow points. One kind is generic hollow point, pretty “normal” looking, but the one I am worried about is Colt 9mm SCHP (solid copper hollow point), 115 grains.No pictures, sorry, but you can Google it if you care. The reason I am worried is that it has fairly large FLAT cavity. I fired about 5 rounds of these from CZ 75 without issues, but I still want to test them in Canik too, just to make sure it feeds and ejects properly. The question is : is firing 5 rounds of each brand of hollow points enough to give me an idea if I can count of these?
That would leave me with 40 rounds that I can load into two 20-round magazines that came with Canik. Is there way to stretch this out by mixing them with some FMJ’s ? If I mix them in the magazine, should I put them maybe as a first and the very last round? that way I can see if first rounds goes into the battery without issues , and if last round gets ejected without stove pipe ( I had this stove pipe issue on the last round only with my old 1911)
Thank you everyone!
