"Barrel length matters however and a shorter 2.75" barrel will have velocities down around 870-900 fps with those loads and you'll start to see some failures to expand in heavy denim. But the good news is that they will penetrate to around 15" absent any significant expansion, so it's no worse than an FMJ, and there's no downside to using the XTP. "

I see your point in using the TXP round.
Use a bullet designed to expand, if it doesn't it mimics an FMJ round in depth of penetration.
I will try those in my LCP.

On a side note, the only HP round I've ever had fail to feed was the Winchester brand.
The only other .380 platform I have is a Walther PPK and it never failed to chamber a round of whatever I fed it.
All except those Winchester hollow points.

Any observations on brands that have reliability problems?
