I see this at my local shitmart for $12.50 a box of 50rds. It's 9mm nato which is similar to +p. Anyone here use this in glocks?
thanks

I have, I think it is a good value and no issues with it. I buy up that ZQ ammo when I see it. G17 by the way.

Never had any issues in my Gen 4 G19. Its a hot load; shoots some really cool fireballs.

Shot fine for me. I only shot half a box as I wanted to shoot the aluminum federal I have. I got a bunch of the ZQI for $10 a box and I think its a steal at that price.

I've had good luck with it. Good strong velocity:

FYI... This ammo is 124gr, they weigh around 123.8gr... for some reason they round down.

It caused my M&P to choke. Loads were so hot they were flattening primers and I had two stuck cases out of 50.

I fired 50rds through a M&P Shield and 100rds through a glock 19 with no issues that I am aware of. It all functioned but when I go back to my property to shoot I`ll have to check out the brass and see how the primers look

my Glocks eat this stuff like jelly beans......good stuff. I reloaded the brass and found it to be good as well. My Glocks are all stock and dont require federal primers as a result parts transfusions and other debauchery

Three weeks ago I bought 4 boxes in 9mm.. So far I have used two boxes in a Generation 3 Glock 19. Two rounds required a second striker strike.

Perfecta is the same ammo as Brass Maxx which is also sold at Walmart. Grood plinking ammo.

With that said I have shot 200 rounds of brass maxx through my Gen 4 G19. One round locked the slide up, other than that its fine for plinking.

If you ever find Federal Aluminum 9mm at your local walmart...try it out or buy it out. $9.97 per 50 rounds and in my experience is better then the perfecta/brass maxx.

They're fine. Depending on the gun you use them though they may give you some light primer strikes necessitating a break in period with that gun. Like zq1 works flawlessly in my glocks but I had to fire a whole box in my 1911 before I stopped getting light primer strikes.

Best brass ammo on the walmart shelves and currently rolled back to 8.95!

I just chrono-ed some of this the other day. I didn't get a single round to break 1100 fps, out of a stock M9 barrel.

So I don't know how you were getting the velocities you were?
