Do Tiny Auto Pistols Jam more than full size Auto?
Maybe I've only had bad experiences.... but all the small auto pistols I've ever shot had a tendency to Jam. making me feel like round in chamber was the only one I could count on.
The only auto pistol I'd CCW is one that I've put hundreds of round down the pipe with the exact ammo that I'll be carrying. otherwise it's reliability is suspect. have zero problems CCW my Gold Cup 1911 using FMJ. that is if I could stand the weight.
had zero feed issue with my 1911 Gold Cup, but still would not be comfortable carrying defensive loads. as I have not shot enough high $$ defensive rounds to know feed history.
Reliability with defensive ammo is where revolvers shine...besides being super light weight like 340PD... revolvers have dead nuts reliability with any type ammo. yes you do give up firepower, but having 5 for sure is better than 17 maybe.
so what's your experience with tiny auto pistols vs full size auto?
are they truly reliable with shot very little high $$$ defensive rounds? VS full size auto like 1911 and Glock. which have a good reputation for reliable feed.
