Anyone shot any of it?  Opinions?

Never heard of it. Shoot it. It's just 9mm

When the MEN 56gr 5.56 showed up I waited for reviews, reviews were good and it was gone at a fair price before I could get any.

9mm MEN at SG Ammo. I was about to post the same question OP.

Good price on it here.  Was going to pick up some of the Win NATO stuff but Sam is out.  Was wondering the same about this?  I have shot a lot of the German 308 stuff but none of the 9mm.

My question is whether this ammo was actually made by Metallwerk Elisenhütte gmbH of Germany. The current 5.56 has it marked on the front right of the box that it's made by MEN of Germany but all photos of the 9mm boxes and cases do not show who actually made it.

CBC of Brazil has purchased both S&B and MEN and the product code MEN 9B is not a typical code used by MEN. My guess is that this ammo may have been produced by CBC on special contract as standard training Ball ammo.

Bought some last month.  Clean, consistent, accurate.

It's got decent velocity, but it's not quite NATO spec like Win 9mm NATO:

Harder than average primers.   I had many (like 10%) light strikes and FTF with a ZEV set up G19, some worked on second strike, but no issues with an all factory G19 setting them all off 100% of the time.

Looks nice, but not $300/k nice.

The stuff I picked up was at Sportsmans Warehouse for $11.99 per box.  I took what they had left after I shot my first couple boxes.  It was basically priced the same as S&B and cheaper than Aguila in the shop.
