Hot loads, light loads, heavy bullets, light bullets, as long as I'm focusing on my shooting it's all just 9mm to me.
Even with my recoil insensitivity, and even though when the stoppages occurred I was focusing on putting bullets through my targets so basically ignoring recoil, when a Fiocchi round failed to extract I noticed a clearly abnormal recoil impulse. What I'm talking about is for example doing a Bill Drill and going pew, pew, popwhat the hell was that? It was that apparent.
And of course after changing ammo brand there were no more stoppages, so there's that too.
