In one of our last get-togethers at the range, my buddy tried to shoot his Berreta knockoff tilt barrel semi-auto... Taurus? He had over 50% of his ammo fail. I think that convinced him to switch to centerfire pistols when his life was at stake.
I switched to .380 when the P380 came out because I had several failures with .22LR as carry ammo, even CCI Stingers.
