How well do these pistols do with hollow points. I am most interested in carrying either the hst or ranger t. Do they feed these reliably? Are there any known issues? My P380 doesn't do well with them as they nose dive on the steep feed ramp. Its like the bullet does not have enough feed angle.

with no problems in my PM9. As for known issues: Magazines may not drop free (debate over whether that's an issue), first round may need to be loaded from slide lock instead of the slingshot technique and is probably where most 2nd round nosedives are induced, paint easily removed rom factory front site. Tight tolerances require considerable break-in.
All that said, I truest mine with my life every day.

My PM9 loves HST and feeds without fail. In the beginning it didn't but after break in Wolfe extra strength recoil and mag springs and all has been perfect. Some (not I) have had issues with the fatness of it hitting the slide lock but that's a quick fix.

Mine are 147gn +P HST.

Mine does well with Gold Dot Short Barrel, Critical Defense and even tried PDX1, but they seemed to have more recoil.

I carry 147grn Ranger T's in my CM9. They work great for me.
