Ammo Questions

[frjeff]

Pretty new to the handgun world and shooting Kahr P9 9mm.

Anyone have strong negative or positive opinions on:

Magtech Sport Ammunition 9mm Luger 115 Grain FMJ, or

Wolf ammo??

Thanks,

Magtech over the Wolf. However for plinking. Eithers fine.

 

[edelbrock]

Magtech definitely over Wolf.

I'd skip the Wolf. Steel cases just seem wrong to me.

The indoor range where I used to shoot used MagTech for its ammo by the bushel basket with virtually no problems.

They both go bang and both are fun to shoot at the range.

Especially the one you paid less money for.

Both can work, however, be advised that steel cased ammunition can have extraction problems in some guns

Whatever is cheaper, just remember to not stock up on anything until you know your handgun is happy eating it.
Some pistols are ammo-picky, and it varies pistol-to-pistol, even within a model/manufacturer.

I use MagTech in everything from 9mm to .50BMG, never any problems after ~10k rounds in the last 5 years. The Barrett .50 rounds come out of the same South American Factory as the ones marketed by MagTech. Good stuff.

My Glock 26 eats 'em both like so much candy all day long.

For practice ammo, buy and use the cheapest you can find.

I only use Russian ammo in Russian guns.

Another vote for Magtech. I've shot a couple of boxes of Wolf in a couple of different guns and found it pretty dirty. (and I'm not a steel case fan - some ranges here won't even allow steel casings)

I don't shoot steel cased ammo in my pistols. The extractor is steel and steel against steel makes me nervous.
That's just me though. I'd rather spend a couple extra bucks on better ammo than screw up a good gun.
But--since I reload --I haven't had to buy any ammo for quite a while now

I do have some of the Magtech in 223 for the AR and it shoots just fine.
I have some Wolf in 7.62x39 but that's just for the AK and SKS but those dudes will eat anything

But for the OP--I would stick with brass--therefore--Magtech

Never had problems with wolf but it is dirty... my neighbor left his SKS uncleaned for a few days after some Wolf ammo and he had to beat the bolt out with a hammer lol. He never had issues with his 1911 with Wolf and I have never had issues with Wolf but don't use it without cleaning it afterwards...

My Glock 26 eats 'em both like so much candy all day long.

But then a Glock will eat ANYTHING like so much candy all day long.

If you are going to shoot steel cased ammo buy an extra extractor. They are cheap and easy to change.
