100% at the range, and it's 100% good.

Just happen to finish off some that I had bought last year today. Ran a box of 115gr through my Gen 4 G17 without a hiccup. I was concerned if the Gen 4 would cycle it, just from things I have read. But I could not tell any difference in it and the Remington brass I was shooting.

based on results over a chronograph the blazer is about 50-75 fps faster than umc and wwb -have had no functional issues at all with it.

I had kind of wondered if these were a little hotter. I ran one magazine with PMCs and Speer Gold Dot +Ps staggered. You could tell a little difference, but not as much as I would have thought.

I had a weird one yesterday where a Blazer 124 grain FMJ did not want to chamber at all.

I took it out of the pistol and inspected it and there appeared to be nothing wrong with it. The bullet appeared to be seated correctly, the case mouth wasn't damaged, the rim wasn't chewed up and it appeared to be normal diameter but it refused to chamber twice.

I did manage to get it to chamber/fire in another pistol/mag combo without issue.

No issues, but it's dirty as a 10 cent whore.

Never tried Blazer ammo, but I just ran 500 rounds of dirty/smelly steel cased Brown Bear through my G19, and had not a single issue.

Come to think of it, I've yet to hear of any certain ammo that a G19 won't gobble up and spit out.

Try running 45 through it and see how it works.

To add, I love Blazer Alum. It's the cheapest stuff out there (non-steel) and it's great for range.

I tried some Blazer Brass in 10mm and was surprised at the kick those rounds made. Usually ‘cheap’ ammo in 10mm is pretty weak, but these kicked harder than whatever I bought at the range that day. Not scientific I know…

I shot Blazer in a G17, no problems.

Exclusively...never had a problem with it. In the years I have used it on the range I have seen less than a handful of weak primer strikes resulting in a malfunction. Not the ammos problem.

I envy you guys, that is an excellent price. Here in Panama, it´s around 13.00 to 14.00 a box. You would not believe me if I tell you, the winchester USA goes around 22.00 to 25.00 a box. Thanks God I work for the government, so I get free ammo
