Well, I did my HR218 Retired Law Enforcement annual qualification today with the CZ 83 (2015 production, maybe 200 rounds through it) and my Glock 19 I have carried since 1994 when I was on the SO. Up to this point, other than an occasional second to last round failing to feed on a couple of the milsurp mags, The CZ83 has been reliable as clock work. I shoot Hornady critical Defense and Buffalo Bore +P ammo for carry in both my CZ83 and Bersa FieStorm.
I usually use Fiocchi or S&B .380 ammo for practice, and it works fine. Today, I grabbed a box of Aguila .380 that I got cheap. During qualification, I had 2 to 3 FTF every magazine! They were as if it was short stroking, and not kicking the slide back all the way. I know Aguila is underpowered in their .223 and 30 carbine loads, so I am guessing this is the problem with the 380s, too. The kick seemed "soft" and inconsistent.
Anyone else have issues with Aguila?

My Walther PPK/S .380 does not like Aguila, either! ::)
I also don't like Aguila 9mm Brass for reloading either. Aguila Brass does not want to stay resized for some reason.

Thanks! I was really surprised. My Bersa FireStorm seems to shoot the Aquila alright, but it has a softer recoil spring. Their 30 carbine ammo is terrible! It is loaded 150-200 fps slower than Remington. If I shoot it, I have to use the 200 setting on the rear sight, instead of the 100/150. I know a couple people had troble with ARs and Aguila 223.

I bought an M1 Carbine from the CMP a few years, along with a case of Aguila ammo to go with it. The ammo was weak and left a lot of fouling behind. Was hardly able to get through a single mag without a stoppage.
I figure that if we ever went to war against Mexico, we would have to spot them the ammo just to make it a fair fight.
