A few months ago after years I finally got my wife to get her CCW again after letting it expire. After that I took her to the store and let her try out a few pistols. She decided on the Sig P238 as that is what she use to have before the house fire.
At the range it was shooting fine with Buffalo Bore 100 grain cast lead (standard pressure). This was all they had at the store so that’s what we tested it with. I got home and went to my brothers to try out some other brands. We tried Federal, Winchester, Hornady and Fiocci. To my disgust not one of those was able to make it threw an entire magazine with out a malfunction.
My brother said we should try breaking it in, I helped him reload 500 rounds of 95 grain fmj bullets, long story short, that failed, cleaned the gun many times. Still seems to only like heavy cast lead. Since the Buffalo bore 100 grain seems more like a hunting round than a self defense round I am left scratching my head.
What should I do? She likes to go on runs alone in the late evening. I’d like her to carry but I want it to be a gun the works.
