This is my first time posting but I've been lurking for months. This is a great resource and I appreciate all the info you members share. I recently bought a p239 sas gen2 da/sa 9mm and finally took her out today.
I put about 100 rounds through it of ball ammo and it was flawless and very accurate as expected. The only defensive ammo I had on hand was hornady critical defense. I had read previously that the 239 doesn't feed those well and sure enough I had the same problem. Probably 4 out of the 16 rounds failed to feed. It appeared that the polymer tip was getting hung up on the feed ramp.
I know there are many great jhp options out there, but I am asking the 239 crowd specifically what the have had the best reliability with. Please comment with your round of choice. Thanks in advance.
