Mrs Wombat's EMP 9mm doesn't seem to like Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P so we've got a few different HPs to try during our next range visit. In case anyone is interested I've posted photos below. I'll provide an update once we next get back from the range.

 

Left to right in 9mm

• Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P
  
• Corbon 125gr +P
  
• Hornady Critical Duty 135gr +P
  
• Winchester Ranger Talon 124gr +P
  
• Federal HST 124gr +P
  
• Black Hills 115gr+P
  
• Speer Gold Dot .45 ACP for comparison
  

 

 

 

 

 

Just from looking at the rounds I'd say the Hornady Critical Duty seems the most tapered (i.e. likely to feed most like a FMJ) with the CorBon being the least tapered (i.e. least like a FMJ) and the remaining HPs seeming to be much the same (somewhere in between the other two). At least from a visual inspection.

All the HPs in my first post tried today while at RTSP - all exhibited consistent failure to feeds on MrsWombat's EMP. Time to call Springfield

Try Corbon Pow'Rball. Supposedly the performance is a bit "anemic" by some "aficionados" but if it feeds it's 1000x better than a jam.

I run corbon power ball in my Springfields. Never an issue.
