The Czickness.

Along with being a trigger snob I guess I have also become an ammo snob.

Curious what ammo meets a snob's expectations?

In the last year or so I have only bought Blazer Brass. It isn't overly expensive and I have had excellent results. I tend to find a brand I like and stick with it.

I'm still a little skittish about it. Refer to post #3996 .

I'm about 1 box away from finishing the 1000 rds of 124 gr Freedom reman, ZERO failures.

Funny how people on Armslist try to sell used stock guns for more than new.

I agree that BB is good stuff. Speer Lawman is of the same quality as well I've found. The Perfecta ammo seems to be good as well, from what I understand it's Fiocchi off brand or something. I'm a bit of a snob myself, but as long as I find something runs fine in my guns, I'll shoot it. I stay away from WWB and steel cased ammo though...

I've had good luck with WWB in 9mm and .40 but not in .45. I have heard that Speer Lawman is the way to go in .45 and will probably load up on that when I finally get another 97.

I've had really good luck using RWS Geco .45 ammo. My understanding is that it's swiss made and all of my .45's seemed to like it real well. Good price on it also, at least from TargetSportsUSA where I tend to buy my ammo most often. Free shipping when you buy by the case

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I threw a link in after I posted, but you replied before I got it in there

It will be a while before I am in the market for .45. I need to get the 9mm inventory up quite a bit and then start looking for good .40.

I'd be interested in your thoughts on good .40 ammo, as I'm new to the caliber. It seemed to do okay with American Eagle Federal on Saturday, though I did have the one issue. Had planned to either randomly pick up a few brands to try, or just see what Walmart carries to see if it'll work fine with that brand or brands. I'm hoping the latter would pan out, as I only have one .40 and only plan to buy the occasional box to shoot.

 

[Birds Away]

My only experience with .40 has been with WWB. As in other calibers it is a bit dirty, sometimes smoky, but runs okay.

 

[Birds Away]

Do you have any 19 round Mecgar 9mm magazines?

 

[wtburnette]

That's most likely what will be the least expensive at walmart, so I'll probably at least try it. Thanks

Also discovered on the p09 that if I slammed the mag in, the slide would go into battery and chamber a round. Surprised me at first, then realized it could be used to my advantage. Anybody else experience this?

My M&P's will do this, but I'd recommend against using it to "your advantage". It isn't 100% reliable like racking the slide is, and when it doesn't happen when you expect it to (say, in the middle of a USPSA field course- ask me how I know...) it leads to a few seconds of confusion. In a defensive shoot, those seconds could be much more critical.

This site almost needs a separate forum for cz, have a p7 that runs like a champ, have been considering a rami,P01, 75retro, maybe I should just get them all.

Why have you never got into reloading?
