BHP shooting premium hollow points.

[Natty]

How do your BHPs handle premium hollow point ammo like HST and Golden Saber?

I would like to get a new BHP but only if it can reliably spit these rounds out.

Eats them like candy!

[JohnJak]

They should eat everything in sight.

[Natty]

Thanks.

Not so long ago, I ran 100 standard pressure 124 gr Golden Sabres through my BHP, and they worked fine. Not a hitch. 100 rounds flawless.

Can't say about any other rounds, though.

MKIIIs will feed anything.
The only time mine has jammed was when I tried a shok buff.

Like most modern pistols being produced, the feedramp and throat has been modified for feeding in later models.

[Marky Mark]

Only the older BHP's with the feed ramp "bump" had problems with HP's. I've had four newer HP's and never a single malfunction with all types of rounds.

I have 2 and neither will feed hollow points very well. I have been using nothing but federal FMJ's for 15+ years now.

My 1994ish BHP has digested everything ever fed to it. I try to use hollowpoints with more of an FMJ ogive like Winchester SXTs.

However, it's even eaten 'flying ashtray' type JHPs like the old Speer Lawman series.

Matter of fact, I don't ever remember having any malfunctions with this particular BHP.

I've got a '93 vintage FN built 'Practical' 9mm model and shoot Winchester 'White Box' FMJ's and Georgia Arms 124 gr. +P Gold Dots and haven't had any problems.

Never tried Golden Sabers or anything, but wouldn't expect any issues since it eats Gold Dots OK.

MKIIIs will feed anything.

+1...I don't shoot +P ammo in my older HPs - just my MKIII.

[Poohgyrr]

Two MKIII's, including an early one with a forged frame, and a Practical. None have any problems with hollowpoints. Not a problem, these are great pistols.

Beginning in the early 80s FN changed the feedramp to take hollow points. Since then, the Hi-Powers feed everything. I have a Mark II from the late 80s and a Mark III that's about 5 years old. They are both 100% reliable with all kinds of ammo.

My 1984 vintage BHP chews up and spits out ANY and ALL factory ammo I feed it.

[Strada Man]

My Hi Power, 2004 manufacture, eats anything I care to feed it. :supergrin:
