I have a Bersa Thunder .380 that I have carried for quite a while. With round nose Federal American eagle ammo in the chamber (not the best carry round, but thats not the point of this post).
I could carry a round and then check it, and it was untouched.
I now carry Winchester PDX1 95gr. JHP Bonded 'personal protection'
I have shot these through the magazines that I carry with no problem, but I unloaded to clean everything today since it has been a few months since I have shot this gun - The ammo isn't cheap and I'm going back to school in January.
BUT... the round that I carry in the chamber with the hammer-blocking safety on, has two small dimples on it.
It looks like a misfired .22 or the unfiring .20ga shotgun I had before I un-gummed the firing pin. It really looks like a light strike.
I'm going to carry un-chambered until I learn more.
I can post pics if that would help illustrate the situation.
Any thoughts please! (aside from buy a .45, its just not practical to carry right now)
