Blane, I'm with Bart on this one. Why are we again talking about saving money?!?!?
Is that the epitaph he wants on his headstone? "Here Lies ___, saved $40 on Ammo by buying Olympic."
Would you want to save money on a cheap parachute?
Would you want to save money on factory second seatbelts?
Would you want to save money on a brain surgeon that graduated last in his class, and charges less?
I've heard (anecdotal) that the Greek/Olympic ammo is corrosive. My firsthand knowledge is that my partner bought 45ACP Olympic, and had more duds, FTF and FTE's than any other. He felt it was totally unreliable, and wouldn't ever buy it again, not even for practice.
Hey, man... it's his money, he can do whatever he wants, but the guy just got one of the finest firearms known to mankind... and now he's skimping on ammo for SELF DEFENSE. Whassup with that?
All due respect, but maybe he should put that money he's saving toward a good therapist, because he needs to get his head screwed on straight.
