OK. I give. Why would you want to shoot cheap ass Tula steel case ammo in an H&K pistol?
You could have bought yourself a cheap SIG, Springfield, or Ruger to screw up. |

I've shot a bit of steel cased ammo through a VP9. I consistently get failure-to-extract malfunctions with it (maybe 5 out of 100), and I'm pretty sure it is because of the stepped chamber in the VP9. It's obviously not going to hurt the gun or anything, but you can probably expect it to not run 100%. It's a shame, though, as the Tula 115 is surprisingly accurate out of my VP9s.

If this was a certain HK forum, right now you would be drowned in "stop being poor" replies.

I didn't realize VP9s were so fancy. Anyone shooting a lot will spend more than the cost of the firearm pretty quickly, especially these days. Steel vs. brass can be a huge savings and allow for a lot more shooting. |

I wouldn't use steel-cased ammo to break in an HK pistol. Once it's broken in, steel-cased is fine.

I've shot a good bit of steel cased ammo through a VP9, worked fine, except there have been a handful of times I've had to push the slide forward because it didn't fully go into battery.
Tried steel cased ammo in P30 once. Won't do that again. Had a case get stuck and wouldn't eject from the chamber. |

In any gun, you can shoot some steel case ammo but I wouldn't make a habit of it, as it is usually not well made and rough on extractors. Unfortunately, in this day and age where all you can get is steel cased ammo,(when you can get ammo), use what you can but be sure to clean your gun after shooting.

I have a gen3 Glock 17 with so much steel-case Wolf & Tula through it, I have lost count. For a while I swore I would not clean it until it failed but after 4K, I just cleaned it and replaced the recoil spring out of boredom. I even have a new Extractor waiting for failure.

It should be able to run steel case no issue. It’s an H&K, not some tuned $$$ 1911.
I have no qualms running steel case in my USP Tac, and that gun better damn sure run it. |

My vp9t hates steel. Consistently gets Cades stuck in the chamber. Ymmv.

First thing I did with my new VP9 was to dispose of all the odds & sods ammo I had hanging around. About 300 rounds later (including various JHPs and steel case) I had zero malfunctions and a dirty pistol.
The cost savings of one case of steel* vs brass will most likely pay for a new extractor, if you even can find any ammo right now. By the time accelerated wear from cheap ammo trashes the extractor, firing pin, and barrel you've most likely saved enough to swap all three out with new. AJ *Pre-plague prices. At this point be happy to find any ammo that's actually in stock. |

I shoot the Winchester "Forged" steel case ammo in every 9mm I own. with no problems. I scored some awesome prices on a bunch of it when Walmart was clearing out the naughty ammo. It's so nice to just use a magnet for clean up after a day of running and gunning at the range.

I am sure the Russians and a lot of other eastern bloc countries have shot tons with minimum problems. I have shot my fair share of wolf, golden bear, Tula, etc with few to mention issues. It is all for range use not EDC self defense ammo. Just my opinion, not a paid ad for afore mentioned brands. ??
