I had probelms with Winchester, Silver Bear and Wolf truncated target loads. It seem like the flat part of the point on the first 4 in the mag would be pushing flatly on the magazine or ramp, then the remaining rounds feed fine. Of course, hollowpoints had the same fail to feed problem. A quick re-rack would then feed the round.
Anyway, spoke to a rep over the phone and emailed Mike at CZ. The rep stated that the 40P was not designed to handle hollowpoints, because hollowpoints are not legal in Czech.
I sent the 40P back; along with my new, unfired, P-01 which the trigger spring broke. What a fiasco. Not only did they not correct the problem, with the 40P, but they didn't seem to have done anything we talked about in the emails. Although, they did manage to scratched the pistol, among other damages. To add insult to injury, when I wrote back twice about the damaged pistol, I got a rude, non-apologetic email response to the second email; no response to the first. I'm so irrate, that I have not responded yet.
To give them credit, they did do a good job replacing the trigger spring in the P-01. But then, a pistol that suppose to have such a great mean fail rate, fail before even firing a round. Their explaination was that the pistol was only suppose to use the double action once, then it goes to single action. I dry fired it in double action too much.
They did offer a couple of magazine as compensation for the damage when I called them about another probelm with the return mailing. Was planning on buying a SP-01, but given my bad experience, I've changed my mind. Well, enough venting; it's not the subject of this post.
Bottom line is that the 40P was not designed to take hollwpoints.
