Not talking about design, or the historical availability of hollowpoints. I'm talking about what happens these days, with the ammo we have now, and how the Kimbers are. There is contact on the feedramps. Hollowpoints will snag. There is less of it with the right hollowpoint bullets, and a clearanced feedramp, and porting on the bottom edge of the barrel (if necessary). Bullets do touch the feedramp.
