Went to the range today with my new Colt Defender 9mm. Shot 100 rounds of WWB 115 gr FMJ, 50 rounds or American Eagle 124 gr FMJ and 2 magazines of Speer GoldDot 124 gr GDHP. Not a single problem with the gun. It worked perfectly! Figured that was enough for the day since the temperature was 100 with a heat index of 114. It was time to head for thhe house and a cold one. Wha a nice gun!

I remember some HOT days in Texas especially in Houston where it was sometimes a hundred degrees and 90% humidity. Those rounds were probably hotter than usual,building up more pressure than usual in that heat(unless you took them out of the air conditioning and put them right in the gun. You have to watch when shooting hot reloads when shooting them in heat like that. Pressure can spike when the shells sit in that heat and then get fired.
