THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
This is probably common knowledge. I bought my P3at recently for CCW and bought some Tula ammo to go shoot in it....i couldnt even get the stuff to chamber. It kind pissed me off so i tried some of my hornady and it did flawlessly. Tula is shaped like 9x18 that russian round for the Makarov i think real fat ball looking ammo and it wont chamber. Anyone else find this, i dont see anythjng in my manual about it.

Solution buy better quality ammo. I have shot hundreds of rounds of S&B with out issue which can be had for #15 or less per 50 a box, usually i can fined 100rd boxes of Winchester for around $30 a box. I only shoot Tula through my AK everything else I own is brass case. P3ATs are somewhat finicky at least in my experience for the first 200rs or so, I shot mine and after the first 50rds have not had a failure since, I am up to about 500rds through it now.

Yes and that was basically my point though I never thought it wouldn't go into battery....I mean all ammo should be the same right??? Clearly that is a no

Stuff I tried fed and chambered well. But those hard as hell primers resulted in about a 15% failure to fire ratio! Kinda a shame as the stuff shot really great groups.

Tula shoots fine in my PF9. Mine is a newer one with the Green Ceracoat slide (late 2011 manufactured). I've never experianced any issues with it.

The 9x19 has a round nose and the 9x18 has a conical nose. Interested in a pic of the rounds in question.

Mine is picky as well. It likes the nice brass or nickel coated stuff. I actually called them about it, and they said in not so specific words that it is a CCW...thus a defense round should be used. From my experience most "defense rounds" are quality rounds.
