Sorry, I haven't read the entire thread. Does this happen with ammunition other than the Independence? If I understand correctly, you are experiencing these stoppages with more than one pistol and with multiple magazines.

If so, it's the ammunition. I hope you don't have a lot of it.

Thanks. Yes, it's happened w/ 2-3 different mags (lost track, but at least 2 mags) and in both a 26 and a 19. It does seem like the ammo although I've used it before w/o issue. It's the only reason I bought some quantity of it.

I don't have any other plinking JHP. I have some Gold Dot; will try a mag or two of that. I'll try some FMJ as well but I'm sure that will be fine.

I may have to start reloading sooner than anticipated. Bugger.

Hope to find a solution because I'm stuck w/ a bit of it. Worst case, I wonder if I can just replace the bullet; that would also be a pain though.

I hope it's just this particular lot. I'm hoping to someday buy a VP9 if it every reaches the shelves here - it's on the roster now but still not being manufactured (not sure how that works). Assuming that the VP9 would not be susceptible to this as the glocks are.
