P229 carried every day. Shot 1000’s of .40 cal through it, including IDPA. Not even 1 single hiccup, ever. On the other hand, my Colt XSE is very particular when it comes to mags, and ammo. It doesn’t drink the cheap stuff.
I have an older model P229 and have easily shot over 2,000 rounds through it without a hiccup ever. I also have a drop-in 357Sig barrel that I also have shot a lot of rounds through.
I have used my P229 in advanced handgun courses and other training classes and it has never missed a beat and is my go-to weapon.
I’m very surprised at this claim of failure and will monitor what the problem might be?
