Glock 42 and hollow points

[wolfmanrogers]

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.

To be fair, does it really matter if they’ve always made that style of bullet? What really matters is what’s available now.

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?

won't cycle as meaning failure to chamber or failure to eject? The g42 being a small gun will move around in the hand during cycling and cause failure to chamber. There is also an issue with the slide outrunning the magazine with higher velocity loads

Academy Sports has some Hornady XTP’s that you may consider giving a shot. I would also consider checking out the Critical Defense rounds.

If those don’t run… you should already know what to do next.

Wow. Wife has an LCP that eats anything, but she can no longer rack the slide, thus the G42.

Any mods to the pistol? If not, dump it and get a 9mm.

She carried my G43 a while, but wanted a smaller gun that she could rack. G42 fit the bill. BTW, this G42 was bad news right out of the box. I polished the ramp and tried different rounds. Then took it to Glock. They did a lotta good, but it still needs round-nose bullets to feed every time. I will try the suggested Fiocchis.

Dump it and get another G42.

Nah. I don`t put my problems in somebody else`s lap, without telling them about the problem. I don`t want another G42. If it will feed the Fiochis I will keep it. If not, I will sell or trade it as-is.

I didn’t say to not disclose it.
