Put it this way. Ive got a hundred year old luger that runs nearly exclusively on it and does it flawlessly
ZQ1 are known to have hard primers i shot them and the fireing pin hits softer on them you might get a failureI like the Blazer brass just fine IME. My ranking high to low for 9-mm among the following group is:
Geco 115 and 124 (this is high quality ammo, IME)
Speer Lawman 115 and 124 (very similar to Blazer Brass except it uses a different powder based upon specs a couple years ago*)
Blazer Brass 115 and 124 and Perfecta are tied, and just slightly below Lawman in my preference, but I might not be able to tell the difference in a blind test (Perfecta is made by Fiocchi and is good ammo in my experience of shooting a few hundred rounds)
ZQ1 (I find no issues with this ammo)
S&B is last due to how dirty it shoots
I've never had a misfire or malfunction in any of my CZs or my Hi Power (or my 92SB in the years that I owned it) with any of the above ammo.
* from 2015 -- may have changed since then:
2015 Speer Lawman 115 TMJ--1200 fps--Powder is Alliant BE86--6.6 gr
2015 Blazer Brass FMJ---1150 fps---powder is Alliant Power Pistol--4.4 gr

Three of my 9-mm CZs have Cajun Gun Works Ultra-Lite kits in them, one with the lightest hammer spring that CGW warns might fail to set off hard primers. Even in these guns I've never had a FTF with the few boxes of ZQ1 that I've fired. But if they are in fact (not just internet claims) known to have hard primers it'd definitely be something to consider.ZQ1 are known to have hard primers i shot them and the fireing pin hits softer on them you might get a failure
