They both cannot go 100 rounds without a jam or failure to fire. I have cleaned and cleaned and lubed and lubed but it does not make a difference. I still carry them hoping that in the event that I ever need it my cor bon rounds will not jam or fail to fire.

Let's examine this thought process for a moment:

Would you drive your car with a known intermittent brake failure in the hope that it wouldn't occur during an emergency stop?

Would you consider an automated external defibrillator with an intermittent battery connection OK for deployment during a life threatening emergency?

Hope isn't much of a plan.

If carrying a marginally powered .380 that only works some of the time still makes sense to you, you might want to consider carrying a BUB - a backup brick. That way you'll always have something that works.

I say that only to make the situation stark enough to portray the real picture.

A far better option would be to sell both of those paperweights and buy a gun that goes bang every time.
