Note: As a general rule, I don't like steel-cased ammo for any of my guns.
Steel-cased ammo always seems to bring more problems than its worth, in my experience. So this little review is unusual, in that I've never had any use for steel-cased cartridges before.
Just a quick review on this stuff. Found this ammo on sale a few weeks ago and decided to give it a try. Ran it through my Shield, Glock 19 and my Ruger 1911 LW CMD in 9mm. Not one mis-feed, or failure to eject. Had one failure to fire. I checked the primer and it had a smaller than usual dent in it. Re-chambered that round and it fired exactly like all the others at the trigger press. I didn't actually test the stuff for accuracy, but these bullets seemed to shoot reasonably accurately through 150 rounds.
I did see about a dozen 'sparks' fly up from my guns during the session, one or two per firing event. Not every firing event, just about a dozen times total. They were small, and few in number, and once I got the guns home, I field-stripped them and checked all of them for damage. No damage was found. The ammo is a bit dirty, but not excessively so. Just dirtier than typical brass-cased ammo, such as Winchester WB.
Overall, I'd have to say that if you're looking for plinking ammo or ammo to use at a training event (or somewhere else you can't collect your brass), this stuff will probably work for your purposes.
