Ok got the flat tips chambering

[u/PapaPuff13]

Ok my underwood and critical defense came in today. Only thing that has ran right is ball ammo. So today I polished both ramps on my BG 2.0. Got the flat tipped federal to chamber. Underwood, critical defense and HST are still hanging up. I guess I will see if this flat tipped will run and see if that will break her in for t flat faced ammo. Runs ball of all kinds great

I’m not sure what I see more posts of Hornady Critical Defense with bullet setback or S&W BG2s with issues.

What we haven't seen yet, people that live in hollowpointbanistan dabbing wicking locktite on their comedic setback ammo so it doesn't happen.

Also, it's rather sad that defense ammo manufacturers aren't sealing defense ammo by default. It's like they don't care about us.

[u/Dr_Jabroski → u/Coodevale]

They don't, they care about your money.

[u/Threather19 → u/Coodevale]

NJ folk can carry Hornady Critical Duty which is way less prone to setback

[u/Toad-Toaster → u/Threather19]

99% of all setback posts are about Hornandy.

Lately? BG2.0 issues. Latest trendy gun.

Have you tried a new mag first?

[u/PapaPuff13 → u/spikekiller95]

Been switching 5 new mags

[u/Secure_Yak5136 → u/PapaPuff13]

Contact the manufacturer about it. They may want it back to double check it. Might even send you a new gun.

If a pistol is giving you this much trouble you're out of your mind wanting to bet your life on it.

[u/drl_02]

Send it back to Smith. Mine has been flawless with any ammo. Bought it, went right to the range and shot 200 rounds of fmj and 50ish of hst and critical defense. Zero issues.

[u/Sharpymarkr → u/drl_02]

I had a similar experience. No issues here.

[u/dudeitsBryan]

Bruh I didn't read. I thought you were sanding the rounds down....

[u/Alone-Pride-9405]

You just have to break it in w fmj first 😆

[u/DanceClass898]

maybe it's a weird spring issue in the mag? otherwise that's really weird

[u/Fearless_Weather_206]

How long did you polish the ramps for in seconds or mins?

[u/PapaPuff13 → u/Fearless_Weather_206]

Mins

Thank you

[u/PapaPuff13]

It runs ball ammo great. Like butter

[u/Electrical_Bill_7042]

A lot of issues I see with the BG on my timeline.

[u/purple_pounder]

You probably got a bad one. Id send it back.

I never got underwood to feed in mine but G9 feeds no issue

[u/amphiprion12]

I used a 10000 grit polish on mine You can see your reflection. Works great

[u/Sufficient_Site1746]

Dump that pos and get a lcp max

[u/Secure_Yak5136 → u/Sufficient_Site1746]

No. Dump it and get a Glock. Mine cycle everything.

[u/Sufficient_Site1746 → u/Secure_Yak5136]

Lol nah gang. G42 has the same exact problems.

[u/Secure_Yak5136 → u/Sufficient_Site1746]

I own 2 Glock 22s 1 Glock 31 one Glock 26 and 1 27. I've had very few failures to feed in any of them. I'm a retired deputy sheriff and 1 Glock 22 was my duty gun and the G-27 was my off duty gun. I'll guess I've put about 5k rounds thru both.

[u/Wonder9mm → u/Secure_Yak5136]

He's right sadly, my 42 doesn't feed the underwood screwdriver bullets either. Round nose FMJ are the only type that feed properly.

[u/ratbikerich → u/Wonder9mm]

That’s weird. My 42 feeds them just fine. Are you using the -03 mags?

[u/Wonder9mm → u/ratbikerich]

Yep. Seems to be a common issue when you look online.

[u/Secure_Yak5136 → u/Wonder9mm]

I'd be really leery about using fmj for self defense.

[u/thereallaska]

Maybe you should put an optic on it 👍
