Looking for some .380 hollow points with a small hole instead of the gaping hole found on most rounds. I had some ammo like that at one time but don`t remember who made it. Wife`s G42 won`t reliably cycle the brands I currently have on hand. I`m not knocking Glocks, as the others I own will cycle anything you stuff in them. The G42 is known to be finicky. After a trip to Glock , the pistol cycles round nose ammo ok, but doesn`t cycle large hollow points or pointed tip defense rounds every time. Who uses defense ammo in a G42 that cycles ALWAYS?

I've ran those in at least 6 different G42's over the years. Never had one issue. But, I don't think I have had a FTF with any other quality Hp ammo either.
I have those. Won`t feed, at least not every time.
Any mods to the pistol? If not, dump it and get a 9mm.
If it were me I’d go ahead and dump that 42, maybe snag a 43 and use 147gr HSTs that shoot soft.
Unless it’s a unicorn or sentimental, If it ain’t eating anything and everything I put in the mag it’s got to go!
Especially if my wife is going to use it for self defense, period!

Remington is the only company I know of that has always made a small-hole
hollow point with generally a "full metal jacket round nose" bullet profile ,
made to feed in semi auto pistols that are finicky and require the bullet to slide up a feed ramp.
