![]() I sure as heck wouldn’t load it up for any kind of real world use. It’s cheap! Don’t forget cheap, we all like that! I don’t recommend it for the combat style matches as you want a good time/score and not screwing around clearing a stovepipe. ![]() I think there could be some training value here for running some immediate action clearing drills. I can shoot it for practice, it is accurate stuff. My parting thoughts on this ammo: I bought 2 cases since then. I don’t know if a lot of people will or won’t have this issue? In the hands of a smaller, weaker person I think just enough energy is being used up to make the functioning of the weapons suffer. I didn’t have the problems I think because very little of the energy needed to cycle the action was being used up in muzzle flip with me. ![]() I have large hands and tend to try to muscle everything, it’s just how I operate. ![]() I weight train daily and am considered a big strong dude. Then it occurred to me, I don’t move much, barely at all. I couldn’t figure out why? I didn’t have those problems and she’s never had them before. Federal needs to add a grain or 3 of powder. Just not enough powder in those things to work the action and slides wouldn’t lock open on an empty mag. Nothing she was shooting would eject reliably. So right away I noticed the spent cases were in fact just rolling over the side of the slide out the ejection port, then they were jam- jam- jam, failure every 4-5 rounds. I’ve never seen her have a malfunction in the past. It’s certainly not the first time she has fired these guns either. She is very fit and not limp wristing the guns. So Ang and I were out getting her ready for the Concealed pistol license course and I took several of the same 9mm’s as she is not sure yet which is her favorite. So now it’s 2 weeks later and I had accidentally erased the review already. Now that’s where my old article pretty much ended. I gave a box or 3 each to a DB-9, XD subcompact, XDM, Sig290, XD service model, IMI UZI and 3 mags of 30 through the MP-5. Maybe they had a bad batch? I didn’t know what was up but there were no signs of the stuff being weak or prone to failures to eject due to not enough “umpff” to kick the case out. I had 3-6 feet of ejection and I was convinced that the stuff I read was untrue. I was very happy with the groups and had zero malfunctions of any kind. My personal firing went off without a hitch. From micro pistols like the DB-9 all the way through an Uzi and an HK MP-5. I took half the case and a pile of 9mm’s. So I bought a case of 1000 rds off gunbroker for $206 delivered. Coming from Federal I wanted to see this stuff fail for myself. In a nutshell it needed a stronger powder charge. I read quite a number posts on various websites saying the stuff was under powered, weak, jamo-matic, ejected cartridges barely make it over the slide and often times don’t. So first I will tell you about my personal experience with the stuff with me shooting it, then what happened 2 weeks later when handing the same weapons over to other people. It’s cheap, it’s plentiful and it’s accurate and seemed like a really good buy until. One I accidentally erased it before posting and two (and more importantly) some significant changes needed to be made to my review of this ammo after a few weeks went by and I observed a lot more of it going downrange. Hello again, well I had this whole thing written and then had to start over.
