Wolf ammo in handgun?

[HighStrung]

Has anyone got any experience running wolf ammo through a M&P40c? I found a pretty good deal I think 500rds for $139. I know it's steel cased but I'm not reloading and will be shooting on private property outdoors. I know it isn't the best quality, but I'm just looking to put some rounds thru this new gun. I've shot Wolf in 7.62x39 and my SKS eats it all day. Just looking for some input, thanks in advance.

No experience with the M&P and Wolf... but I run it at the range with a Glock 23 and have never had any issues.

Ditto. Run it.

No experience with 40 cal, but have run thousands of 45 and 9mm through various types of handguns and never had any issues with it.

it works fine but it is real dirty just in my experience

I bought a bunch of 9mm Wolf and have run a lot through my Beretta CX4 Storm. Not exactly a handgun, but it has shot nicely through it on the range nevertheless.

I'd say go for it too...

wolf ammo will not even cycle in my 1911 colt.shoots everything else though.i always wondered why!!!

I chronoed some Wolf when I was working up some 9mm loads this winter. It was hitting right at 820 fps. A little slow but it goes bang and cycles.

Wolf is fine, but you don't want to run it through anything with a gas tube.

I think you should be good. I have only ran that stuff a very few times, but I have never had a problem with it in any of my handguns. That m&p should eat it up. I say go for it.

I've run it through an AR, some 1911's, and a glock 9mm. I'm sure if you've shot it in 7.62x39 then you probably know that it's a tad on the dirty side.

Never had a problem in my glock, but my 1911 doesn't like it.

 

[HighStrung]

Alright, thanks for the replies. Yeah, I clean after every trip out to shoot, especially with the Wolf and other notoriously dirty brands.

Wolf ammo

I have shot a little Wolf ammo and would buy more if it was cheap enough.I have heard though that their non steel cased ammo has a tendency to split every once in a while

I can't say anything about .40, but I've shot A LOT of Wolf 9mm and .45 without problem. My 1911 and M&P45 will eat Wolf ammo all day without a hiccup.

Be prepared to spend some time cleaning, though. It seem dirtier than a lot of other brands.

I've never had a problem running it through my colt. But like everyone else said it is noticeably dirtier then most ammo.

I ran a couple hundred rounds of 9mm through my m&p9 and 9c. I had zero failures of any kind. I noticed it didn't group as well, but if you are just looking to punch holes in paper, does it really matter?

I've never had an issue with Wolf ammo in any firearm. I've been told not to run it in my M16, and I have for years. I've been told not to run it in nice pistols, and I have for years. It doesn't hurt anything in my experience. It's dirty but it's cheap and in todays economy, that's a good thing.

Have shot .40 and .45 in several different guns and other than being on the mild side, worked fine. Don't necessarily throw those cases away. I have been reloading the .45 ACP for a few years. I have not tried reloading the .40's yet, but know a few that have.

 

[bw210]

Have shot cases through my AR and SKS with no problems. My CETME and .308 rem700 police model eats it up also. Never tried in handgun yet As far as dirty goes, I have switched to silver bear. Almost as cheap and runs a lot cleaner. Don't see why it wouldn't run in handguns. The steel cases are no longer lacquered and the steel is often softer than good brass.
