    Thanks, thats interesting. Also, a few days ago I picked up a box of HSTs since lots of people mentioned that they had no issues with them. I immediately had the same issue with them. I think they're 150gr.

    So that makes 2 different rounds that the gun won't feed. Im going to retest the others now that I know the direct cause of the jam. Maybe i just wasn't thorough enough.

    I got two 43s and I ran 150 rounds of various hollow points testing reliability and had zero issues. I used a mag with Vickers plus 2. Hyve plus 2. Factory 6 rounder and a factory 6 rounder with pinky extension. Again no issues. Hope you figure out the issue. They are great little carry pieces.

    Don't squeeze the Glock!

    I only really only carry Hornady "Critical Duty" seems to feed as good as FMJ in everything except in my S&W M19.

    Does Federal HST have an advantage over any other HP? It looks like a flying ashtray to me.

    Yep, and Critical Duty/Defense are one of the very few loads that have a cannalure to keep track of bullet "Set Back'...You WILL have set back in Federal HST, and Speer Gold Dot...I have yet to see set back in the Hornadys that I have carried for "Awhile"...Bill.
