Lehigh Extreme Penetrator ammo
Any input on this ammo from the collective knowledge?
I'm currently carrying Hornady critical defense in both my .380 and 9mm
Is the Lehigh ammo an upgrade, or not.

Yes it's an upgrade. It's what I carry in my LCP for hiking and backpacking.
IMO, copper bullets like this are the future. I'd replace all of my carry ammo now, if I didn't have a million rounds of HST.Life has a melody. Not great, not terrible.

I'll be following this thread as I've been considering LD also. Although I think I'm leaning towards the Xtreme Defender round instead of the penetrator.

Re: Lehigh Extreme Penetrator ammo
Reading on other forums, there have been some .380's that have had problems. I think it was on the Penetrator. Depending on how the round is rotated, sometimes the sharp end edge of the copper bullet has jammed on some feed ramps. I did see it happen on a SIG P238. Sometimes the rounds cycled fine, sometimes they jammed going up the reed ramp. I am guessing it was about 3 out of 4 were cycled fine. Not reliable enough for me. If it works in your EDC, wonderful. Just run at least a hundred rounds through to be sure they will always cycle properly. I can't say that I have read anything on them in any other caliber, good or bad.

Re: Lehigh Extreme Penetrator ammo
You can always use it as the round in the pipe - first round= no feed problems...the first shot might stop the threat, otherwise, you know your normal JHP's will feed and function...
