re: #890 JohnnyReb

With an auto pistol I never ever even consider using a special kind of round for self defense unless I have shot at least 200 rounds of that brand through the gun. Way too many auto pistols have problems with certain ammo brands, especially the exotic stuff.

I use reloaded ball on the range, and a few issues but rare. I’ll only use factory loads for carry, and well tested. I’ve put a lot of rounds through a Beretta 92FS, Sig 2340, and my S&W Compact MP .40 without issues.

The other thing is to do jam drills, about the only thing that can’t be recovered very quickly is a ruptured case in the chamber, or a chamber failure.
