I just purchased a 1,000 case of the .22lr Silvertip ammo by Winchester. It is touted as a segmenting bullet meant to be used for short barreled self defense. I use a Ruger LCP II in .22lr as a backup to my carry gun. So I decided to try it. I had two stove pipes in 50 rounds. I was using Velocitor prior and usually ran into maybe one FTF in a box of 50. I know, .22lr for backup is sub-optimal, but in my late sixties, as a backup to my carry gun it'll have to do. And yes, I carry a Hellcat for primary.
My point being, I'll need to try this silvertip ammo so more in my LCP II before I'll be comfortable. Maybe I'll just carry my S&W 317 as a backup. It's a little more bulky, but no stove pipes!
