No staggering here. FMJ's for target and plinking and JHP for HD use.

I replaced the firing pin spring as well as recoil spring not long ago and have only about 120 rounds with the new springs. I'm thinking of replacing the firing pin spring again just in case I got a defective one. I think that's a long shot but maybe worth a try.

I usually keep a FMJ in the chamber and JHP in the mag. I do this for no other reason then I don't re-chamber rounds. When I clean my pistol I put the chambered rounds in a box marked "chambered" and use it as range ammo. If I don't take my carry pistol to the range I'll still field strip and oil every 2 weeks or so and I don't like wasting the more expensive hollow points by throwing them in a box for...

Think Harley Davidson... That's the deal.. Control/limit/restrict the supply and prices (and demand) increase. Or on a more recent skew, think H1N1 vaccine. It's all big business and politics of course. Think back to 1965/73 and the availability of ammo; we were spraying so much ammo that an entire industry was created using spent brass, yet there was no shortage of ammo at home. Who benefits from restricting ammo sales or even...

Help me understand your statement. If you buy ammo made in the USA....and since Wally World is an American company....how does your money end up in China???? Granted, if you buy Chinese manufactured goods, your money goes to China, but that's hardly a problem unique to Wally World. That happens if you buy a Chinese manufactured toaster from Macy's.
