I have had My Beretta for about 2yrs now but still haven't fired any real NATO ammo. I tried some of that Greek Stuff and it stunk. The one and only Malfuntion I had with My Beretta was from this junk. Where's the good stuff?????
 
I get my 9mm NATO from http://www.ombps.com/

It's great! It's the Winchester white box for $6.99/box. It's a somewhat hot round but it isn't at all unmanageable, and it's more accurate than I am. I've never ever ever had a malfunction with this ammo.

I agree with you on the Olympic ammo. I bought a case of it for my G-17, and it was the only round that has ever made it hiccup. It's good for what you pay for it, but in my experience it hasn't been reliable. IMI also makes a NATO-spec round but I haven't been able to find it recently. Stick with American-made ammo and you'll be better than fine!

This is the equivelent to the USGI stuff right? I just want to try practicing with the stuff My Beretta was intended to shoot.
 
Soda, I think you'll get two different answers.

Many people think the Winchester stuff is loaded light, but still hotter than standard 9mm. Others say that it's just about right. It's been awhile since I used the "real" stuff, so I really don't remember how hot it was. I'd say (with my fuzzy memory) that it's very very close, but probably still a little light. Not light enough to make a difference (probably like 25 fps or something), but close enough without raiding a government armory.

Try it...you'll like it! It's worlds apart from that Olympic stuff.

Both Winchester and Federal load 124 grain 9mm ammo to NATO specs. Both are labeled M882. Haven't seen any Federal at the gun shows in the past year but I still have a case of it. The Winchester M882 has been available at gunshows here on the west coast for the past 18 months and costs about $130 a case. The vendor that has it consistently is an outfit called Milwall. I have also seen GI surplus 9mm in those brown boxes loaded into ammo cans for as cheap as $117/case. Out of my Glocks, Sigs and CZ it shoots no better or worse than any generic 9mm ammo.

The Beretta was designed and chambered for the 9mm Parabelum.:rolleyes:
 
Did you try GeorgiaArms Ammo??

I saw a recent thread Re. www.georgia-arms.com quality - G9MMJ 9mm
124gr FMJ/NATO $8.50/50
$16.50/100
$155.00/1000
1200/fps

Thinking of trying it myself for my Border Marshall and Sig 225.

P.S.
Hope I can make your next PA shoot - had the kids in tow in January - wife would have objected a weeee bit..........
:p
 
I've been thinking about buying this stuff so I can practice getting ready for the Draft. I've also considered getting an AR so I can know how to Fight in an American Army:)

For some reason I just never got into American Stuff. ALways cheap Russian and 3rd world country weapons:eek:
 
Update

I picked up two boxes yesterday to try it out and............

I LOVE IT!!!! It has way more kick than the Cheap UMC I've been shooting for the last two years. I'm stuck on this stuff:D :cool:
 
After reading this thread, I placed an order on line with OMB Police Supply on 02/05 for 500 rounds of the Winchester 124gr., 9mmx19 NATO ammo.
They have sent me no tracking info on the order as of yet and have not responded to two e-mail requests for status of my order. :(
I thought this may possibly be an outfit that I could get good service from. :rolleyes: I hope they don't turn out to be another Botach like outfit that I've read about.
 
That was the beginning of My Overhaul. I sold two of My Russian Rifles for the Colt 1991A1. My Last SKS goes towards the you know what;)
 
Like JMC, after reading this thread, I placed an order on line with OMB Police Supply on 02/05 for 500 rounds of the Winchester 124gr., 9mmx19 NATO ammo. They also have sent me no tracking info on the order so I called them today and they first told me it hadn't been shipped yet then I was told there was a billing problem, WHAT? I said! And she reassured me I wouldn't be billed extra then I was told maybe the ammo was shipped friday and I'd maybe get a tracking number later today. Screwed up place, don't know if I'll buy from them again if I even get my ammo.
I'm mad at myself because I didn't see Miwall has this same 9mm NATO ammo for five cents less a box and I also ordered other ammo from them on 02/05 and it arrived on 02/08.

I also called OMB Police Supply today and attempted to get some info on my order.
The girl I spoke with was very nice but, didn't have a clue as to an order or them e-mailing a tracking number after your order is placed.
The "guy" who handles the e-mail was off. :rolleyes:
She did take my info and said she would check on the order but didn't say when I would hear from them. :confused:
We left it as if the order hadn't shipped yet, it would be cancelled.
About an hour after, the same girl called me and said that my order had shipped on 02/07 and it should arrive any day.
I have still not received the promised tracking number.
I don't know if I would recommend them at this point for future orders.
