Steel cased 9 mm question

[bulletslinger101]

Has anybody ever had any issues with steel cased 9 mm not feeding, chambering, firing locking, cocking or ejecting with their firearm?

My wife went in yesterday to Academy sports and bought some steel cased 9 mm ammunition as she is starting to show interest in shooting. When she got home I saw that it was still cased and try to take it back this morning and the store does not except returns on ammunition. I didn’t think that they would however now I’m stuck with 150 rounds of steel cased ammo. And I want to hear from Glock’s and Sigs.

Your guns will like it, or they won't. Shoot it up. You might notice needing to clean a bit more because the cases do not expand the same as brass.

Do you have any bad experiences with shooting steel cased ammunition?

I have some older S&B 9mm that's steel cased. I have fired it in Glocks and Berettas , SCCY's and P320's with no problem.

I shoot steel cased ammo in my Glock 17 so far no problems at all, it's a little dirty burning powder that is used in it just take it down & give it a good cleaning after your range trip!

Not really. Depending on who made it, the powder might be pretty rank and smokey.

Shoot it and enjoy. I have shot 9mm, 45, 223, 308 and any other that I find. All goes boom.

Steel case seems to run a little dirtier and smokier...just like the other fellas stated... I have over 1,000 rounds of Tula steelcase thru my Canik TP9 Sfx….haven't cleaned it yet...runs smooth... you will find that the exotic high dollar German pistols like HK and Walther do NOT like steel case...
Wifes Glock 34 eats Tula and Winchester right up...

HTH

Shoot it. It'll be fine. I've run it in Colts, Glocks, Berettas, Kel-Tecs, and Rugers.

I had the same concerns with this at one time

I have since had zero issues in my HKs and have used it multiple times in classes where 500+ rounds were consumed in an afternoon and more than likely some were run in back to back classes without cleaning

Most was Tula and some wolf? I think & at least once it was a mix of them both

I’ve also have run an ass load through my P series Rugers

I’m pretty sure I have run 1000+ rounds without cleaning without malfunction of any kind

* All my experience is with factory only magazines from 10 round - 31 rounds

* all my magazines are modified with Wolf springs

*pistols are unaltered from factory (other than the HKs have been made into left hand killing implements)


Sometimes used with a random mix of steel and brass of various brands and bullet types

Hope this helps
