Except during the first maybe 100rds of break-in, MiniMag 40gr has been flawless in my G26 kit. Haven't tried the Golden Bullets yet, though I've got a bulk pack on the shelf.
Warning on
one to avoid: Winchester Xpert HV 36gr value-pack from Wal-Mart. I don't know if the cases are a bit bigger than spec, or if they're thin-walled and enlarge on detonation –– but for whatever reason, I had 49 or 50 FTEs out of 50 rounds. Yep, basically
100% FTE. Sometimes racking the slide again would clear; other times, I needed to knock it out from the muzzle end because it was wedged into the chamber so tight.
That was a bummer; it's the only bulk pack I can reliably find around here. Hope I can find something else to use the remaining 500 rds in....
And +1 for jealousy of the guys with suppressors on their AA kits.
