couzin,

Don't think I was limp-wristing it because I'm pretty careful about that, but could be. And I know what you mean about the girlfriends

couzin,

Shot some Fiocchis that use the Hornady XTP which has a fairly small meplat and one or two of those hung up, then had several FTFs using Winchester Defends, which have a fairly large meplat. As I said, I'll shoot a couple hundred more FMJs and see if just needed more break-in, then start using HPs again. I'll post the results.

I've fired only about 85 rounds through my new Glock 42 but have had a number of failures to feed or failure to eject with several different types of HP ammo--no problems with FMJ. Anybody else having these problems? I'm going to shoot another 200 rounds of FMJ through if and if there are no problems I'll start using HPs again. If I have more problems with it, the gun's going back to Glock for repair.
