We had the issue with Federal 38G. At some point they started locking up the ultra lightweight revolvers consistently. Airweights, occasionally IIRC.

It hadn't been an issue previously. Something seemed to have changed at the manufacturer. (Crimp!) But after that point, every time you went to the range you'd see a growing line of rounds that look like the picture arranged on the window sills.

Ultimately, all lightweight revolvers were temporarily disapproved for carry until the new ammo was purchased, received, and issued.

After that, all good!
