We do not see too much speer ammo up here but what is successful in these is Magtech Hollow point 380 and Federal champion ammo. Just a couple of suggestions. Short action ammo= higher pressure for functionality. Also a very good slide lube as this gun is gritty feeling as it is also helps. Good luck

I've been shooting .380's since the early 90's and I can tell you guys with confidence that small pistols can be very finicky with ammo in addition they dont like to get dirty either. I've heard from others that the G42 is very picky on ammo. The BG380 seems to do well with most major brands but I can tell you that it does not like to get dirty at all. 150-200 rounds at the range is all it takes before the buildup of soot can start causing hangups...
