If your barrel is made of steel, neither one.

Copper mixed with zinc makes brass, therefore you get the “golden” color. All three metals are way softer than the steel barrel. As strawhat mentioned neither will wear down your barrel.

What’s the brand of the other cartridge?

Not that it really matters. Reputable ammo manufacturers don’t make ammunition that destroys the guns that shoot their products.

Thanks
I have shot a lot of both brands of ammo in my 9mm pistols with zero problems. Odd note, Blazer Brass ammo always seems to hit to the left in my Glocks.

As was stated, you’ll wear out the springs in the gun long before you’ll wear out the barrel in your semi auto.

Shoot away! :thumbup:

Stay safe.

Both of them if you shoot enough.....

We all like the S&B brand, here. The Blazer brand hasn't been as dependable, in our experience.
