Pretty well. Hornady 90 grain Critical Defense in my G42. Not the belle of the ball, but a solid performance. I vaccilate about carrying a 9mm, but I don't want to dress around it. Sticking with my G42 for the time being. I installed the MagGuts 7 round conversion and I always carry an extra with a SnagMag. Might try the Hydrashocks or Starfires next time I hit the range. I always shoot my carry ammo first, get in some draw and presentation shot work, then shoot my "bigger" guns. Once again, kick ass article. Thanks for posting!

They didn't test my carry ammo. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

Thanks, it was an eye opener...... We have 6 guns that rotate though carry between my wife and I, in two calibers .45 and .380. Post article..Im changing SD rounds for the .380, keeping the .45, and if I put a 9mm back in rotation I'll be changing that SD round as well.
