Just curious, why not use the SRPs in place of SPP?

I tried and they don't work in a Glock. Have about a 40% failure rate.

This. Not enough firing pin force for reliable ignition.

I use SRPs in my PCC and open gun all the time.. but not in a striker fired gun!

Good to know

Ah yeah I’ve heard that S&Bs primer cups are a little harder and can give light strikes with some striker fired pistols. Not sure if it’ll help but maybe worth checking the firing pin spring, making sure the firing pin channel is cleaned well and dry so it doesn’t slow down the FP. But may still not be enough to overcome the harder SR primers.

If I don't find someone to trade, I may just get a PCC to load for.

I have found exactly the same as dirty J. 1911 with heavy mainspring will fire Winchester SRP but none of my 320s will reliably fire them.
I have not tested this but multiple people have told me CCI SRPs are softer than Winchester and may work in striker guns with factory springs.
I have a few CCI, I may test this week.
