FBI approved 9mm ammo... what to feed your Glock

[Warp]

I am avoiding Winchester ammo. In past years...waaaay too many bad rounds and failures. Terrible quality control IMO and IME. I have personally had three separate rounds of Ranger...from three separate types of rounds (RA9T, RA9TA, RA45T)...that were bad out of the box. Plus a whole case of RA9B that was completely screwed up.

Winchester doesn't even care. I've contacted them about these and never got a response. Just say no to Winchester for important use.

I go for 124 +P or 147 in Federal HST or Speer Gold Dot

I absolutely steer clear of any +P or +P+ loadings. Needlessly beats up the pistol, and sometimes it can make the slide outrun the mag spring causing a malfunction. I want the thing to go bang every time regardless of what it's spitting out the front.

This is just plain silly.

Extremely silly.

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with factory +P or +P+ in a Glock, and if you are getting malfunctions you have a problem that you need to address...it's not from factory +P or +P+ ammo.

I did get a batch of Ranger "T" Series RA9T that had tumbling media stuck to the primers. It didn't hurt the functionality of it, I've never had light strikes or anything with the RA9T, but it bugged me to no end.

I took a bristle brush and dental pick and cleaned up all the rounds and then ran yellow nail polish around the primer in case I messed up the sealant with my scrubbing. Here is a before and after:

I've subsequently purchased boxes of RA9T and they've been fine.
