Identical model guns (and magazines) can each have individual variations that make certain brands work perfectly or not at all, so you shouldn't rely on another person's testing.

There is a variation in what people think is "sufficient" for testing. Some say to run 250 rounds of carry ammo minimum before trusting it, others rely on on running a few magazines worth through. If you snagged only one box of 20 rounds you'll be limited in your ability to test extensively, so its your judgment call what to do. Personally I'd rather carry fully tested FMJ in .380 than potentially unreliable HP. If you don't have any FMJ then you might want to consider carrying a completely different gun, but it's your call.
