Barrel Malfunctions with HP 9mm Ammo
As soon as I picked up this barrel at UPS I headed for the DCF Range to test fire my carry pistol (Shield) with the new barrel. Worked fine with round nose ammo. However, it jammed on every other round with hollow point 9mm. This pistol has never malfunctioned in over a year of use - the problem points to the barrel. Once I re-installed the factory barrel the pistol function perfectly. This is important since I carry this pistol and use hollow point ammunition for personal defense purposes. There were multiple observers on the range at Douglas County Firearms who witnessed these problems first hand. They all said the same thing: Take it out and send it back. I do not believe this barrel is safe when using hollow point ammunition, which is why I give it a limited function rating.
