I've been using CCI since I started loading, 33 years ago. I found two guns that would not reliably fire them. Same reason on both guns - weak mainspring. I switched to WW SP for 38 and 380, and those two guns are now 100% (CCI has a thicker cap - it is a harder primer than Winchester). But I still use them in small and large rifle, large pistol, and all other small pistol applications. I have yet to have a misfire in any other gun.
