Having recently picked up a new Glock 42, I have been doing quite a bit of research on ammo for it. My lcp has been stocked with Hornady xtp, but recently came across the Lehigh .380 extreme penetrator round. I'm intrigued, but skeptical.
I've always been a "heavy for caliber jhp" guy for my 9mm ammo. I know. 380 is a way different game and it's an anemic round where jhp's aren't known for great penetration and expansion.
I was reading on the www that solid copper projectiles are harder on barrels and have higher chamber pressures vs conventional ammo. I did a search here on PF and read all the info and thoughts on the Lehigh round but didn't really come across any discussions where this was talked about.
Any truth to these claims?
For the record this would be for a Glock 42.
Thanks,
Drew
