I used to have a very nice Browning Hi-Power (P-35). Great gun. But even it's 9mm round is too small. I'd like to get another one in the .40 S&W.
military bought .223 / 5.56mm rounds malfunction SOME times, but I don't know if I'd let that take away from the round completely. I have about 15 years in the Army so I understand the point you went for. However with several more years in the civilian sector and on a SWAT team were we had carbines and also switched from the MP-5 to the 5.56 micro galil, and let me tell you, I never had any malfunctions with higher grade ammo.

Again, I haven't had a lot of malfunctions with military ammo either
