Now that these rounds have been out for a while what is the round of choice for those that carry them? The defender looked to have a profile that would cycle easier, but I've heard that the penetrators are sporting a different profile to aid in cycling.
The penetrators came out first and had feed problems in some pistols, the Kahr 380 among them. There was also some concern about over penetration. Leheigh designed something that would feed better and penetrate less. The Extereme Defender is the result of that effort. They both feed ok in my p380. I chose to carry the defender.
The nose of the Penetrator has indeed been revised (see pic with old on top and new on bottom). The old nose does not cycle in my CT380 but the new nose is fine.
