Krdshrk 3,877 Posted March 9, 2023 Hornady Critical Defense. I do still have some Federal EFMJ but not a lot left and Critical defense performs better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gleninjersey 2,139 Posted March 9, 2023 6 minutes ago, ESB said: Are these not considered hollow points? From Speer's website: "Instead of a large hollow-point cavity, Gold Dot G2 has a shallow dish filled with a high-performance elastomer. On impact, the material is forced into engineered internal fissures to start the expansion process. The result is extremely uniform expansion, better separation of the petals, and more consistent penetration across barrier types through full-size handguns." I believe that is the case with most of the "duty ammunition" or at least what ppl are using for the CCW ammo in the Peoples Republic of NJ. https://www.speer.com/ammunition/gold_dot/gold_dot_g2/19-24226.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"it depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is"? To be safe if I carried, which I'm not (yet), I would probably stick with one of the three listed above in the email or the ones being recommended by NJSP or perhaps an attorney. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder how many people swung from a rope becuase they were in a "Gray Area" Also most laws are Narrow Black and Narrow White with HUGE gray areas in between... NJ Is especially good at intentionally doing that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmokenClay 21 Posted March 9, 2023 I mainly carry Critical Defense but I have 1 handgun that does not feed them reliably so ball for that one. Be sure to test the ammo actually works 100% in your particular handgun. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It just seems to be a combination of things being a geometry problem with the steep climb, pressure of a full mag and the bullet shape. It doesn't hang up every time and only when using the slide release on a full mag, sometimes. Enough to make me worry about a mag change. I guess I could down-load the spare mag to see if that works any better but haven't tried that yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had issues with my Kimber 1911 9mm and I changed to Mec Gar mags and they feed much better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may be able to tune the problem mags so they work properly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
