The ol SR9 and winchester white box problem

[HOOfan_1]

As an example we have representative semiautomatic pistols from Glock, Ruger, SIG and S&W chambered in 9mm-Luger. The test ammunition is WWB lets say purchased from Wal-Mart. Three of the four pistols involved function with out a problem and one pistol is functionally problematic. Do we conclude the ammunition is the problem or the one pistol that was functionally problematic is the problem?

Since that doesn't seem to be the case here....why bring it up? I didn't see where the OP said the ammo worked just fine in other guns...

yea but what if that pistol can fire every other ammo wproblems?

Yes but what if all four pistols fire other ammunition with no problems? What is the reason that WWB was problem free in three of the four pistols?

Because the OP has only fired the Ruger pistol and believes WWB is the problem. WWB maybe a problem in the Ruger but in my experience with Glock, SIG, 3rd Gen S&W and the MP9 with extensive use in the multiple thousands of rounds fired it has been problem free.

And I have seen it give problems in other guns....
If the OP didn't shoot the same batch in other guns...then this exercise is moot.

May I ask what guns were those? The information would be informative.

Glock 19, Berretta 92

Several loads lighter than the rest...resulting in failure to eject

Could just be the way the ruger is built? some guns dont like certain ammo , right?

I had a lot of WWB light primer strikes in my SR9 when it was new (& uncleaned) out of the box several years ago.

After a good shot of powder blast and a thorough striker cleaning & proper lubing, it ran like a champ.
