Hi, A few months ago I wrote that I had a bad round of Hornady Crticial Defense FTX that just made a pop noise and was unable to locate the projectile in the wooded area I was firing in.
I contacted Hornady and they sent me replacement ammo(4 boxes) for my 2 boxes and stated they knew they had a primer problem, but it has been resolved with the new ammo they are shipping.
I thought the problem was resolved.(lot #3100650)
Well yesterday the very first round fired made a strange pop sound and smoke came out the sides of the P3AT. The bullet could be seen slowly hitting the back stop of our home made range. The casing was blackened at the top.
I need help to determine if I have a defective P3AT or is it still the ammo. Does anyone else have this issue?
It was a good strike on the primer and I saved the casing as proof. The other 6 rounds fired perfect. I will provide a pic of the casing as soon as I get home.
We have some Federal ammo, but we did not bring it with us to try. I am deeply concerned that this ammo is not for carry and could get me in serious trouble if ever needed in self defense. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
