    Default Re: Lehigh Extreme Penetrator ammo

    I tried them in the 9mm 1911 and in the 938, feed issues in both guns. None in the Taurus 709 or 24/7 g2. I have been, and will continue to, carrying the RIP from g2. They feed in any 9 we have tried them in. I spent a lot of money to make darn sure they work. And they do. I am betting my life on it.

    I bought some LD E.P. after watching "Shooting the Bull" YouTube ballistics tests for .380 (I'll attach the vid below)

    I am a dumbass and meant to order just the bullets to reload & instead ordered the full cartridge and didn't verify my order first. As mentioned they are pretty costly to do feed tests with. It would have been a little better for me if I just had the bullets.

    I like the idea of keeping one(LD EP) in the tube, and then maybe mixing in my Hornady Custom XTP or Critical Defense.

    These are intended for my wife's LCP, or my glock 42.

    *FWIW these make the most sense (to me) in .380 but because of cost I'm not sold on them in bigger cartridges.

    His videos helped me decide that .380 wasn't worth carrying.

    Then worth carrying with the XP. It's why I pocket carry LCP II with XPs when hiking.

    I think I agree about other calibers, I haven't felt compelled to replace my HSTs.

    I just got an LCP II. I'll have to take a look at the Lehigh Defense XD and XP. Being new to .380 I don't have an inventory of any self defense ammo.

    Good idea. I have a well used p3at that I had to do that for that is picky with some types of ammo.
    ...and they have a plan...
