I've used well over a total of a thousand Tula rounds in my shooting over the last few years, and I've not had a single unexpected error with any of it.
If it's a newer production round (made post-gun-panic), perhaps it is worse than usual quality control on the count of matching demand with supply. No excuses there and I'm not defending them, they certainly are the cheapest of the cheap.
But again, I've fired at least 500 rounds through an XD9 service size, 0 flaws whatsoever. 200 more rounds through another XD9 service, V10 ported edition. Never a single flaw. Fired 16 through a Sig 1911 Stainless Commander and no flaws (come on now, it was the first 16 rounds I shot through it to see how it liked steel case ammo. It liked them, no flaws).
Firearms come as a second favorite to me, my first favorite being computers. And with computers, the very same equipment by the very same brands (for example, AMD and Intel) processors perform different from one another. Just like DNA, just like a thumbprint, just like a snowflake: the odds are astronomical that you'll get an exact replicated result between two physically different objects. Some people can't overclock their AMD FX-6300, I overclocked it to 4.5GHz without breaking a sweat. Some people like myself have never had a flaw with Tula ammo, some people have had some scary looking problems with theirs. Idk much, but for what it's worth I'd say YMMV as bullets, casings, primers and manufacturers of different calibers differ from each other all day every day, as do the firearms these rounds are being shot through. Be logical!
Also for what it's worth I've never carried Tula as a defensive round, I use something with what I've known to be a longer positive track record (CCI)

That's funny. And probably true!
