I never shoot Wolf through my AR's, should I keep the same philosophy for my Glocks Is there a difference between the new polymer or the old lacquer? which is better |

I've shot many thousands of rounds through my AR's without problems. I had one stuck case, one time, but that's it. At each machinegun shoot, we go through MANY thousands of rounds of Wolf through the M16's, with many Beta dumps, no problems at all. The gas tubes are GLOWING by the end of it! I've also shot Wolf through Glocks and S&W's with no problems at all. I really don't see the issue some people have with it. |
I'll tell you mine. I'm a bit lazy. Wolf is really dirty, which means more cleaning. 60 rounds of Wolf got my AR dirtier than 210 rounds of Federal AE. Their pistol round are also dirtier. If I'm not shooting a lot, the slight price difference is worth it to me to not spend that extra time cleaning. |

I've had good luck with Wolf in 9mm in the Glock. Good luck with Wolf too in a "match grade" (tight chamber?) 1911. Haven't tried the Wolf .40 yet, but I've heard of ZERO kabooms with .40 Wolf. Can't say that for the brass-cased ammo that some believe to be "better." |

Dodgeram, Since you have had to ask the question twice, I'll jump in here friend. It'd be nice if someone actually addressed the OP above. With assumption that the case finishes used (lacquer vs. polymer) is the same throughout the Wolf ammunition line, I use it in a "beater" AK quite a bit. The 'old' lacquer coating works fine but, has the tendency to deposit on the inner workings of the gun after extensive shooting sessions and could become a problem for a more tightly toleranced firearm if allowed to accumulate. Never a problem in the AK though. Since Glocks are pretty 'loose' anyway, I would think that you would have little to worry about if you just keep it reasonably clean. The 'new' polymer coating is very thin and doesn't have the 'tacky' feel to it that the 'old' lacquer coating seems to have. While it is thin and doesn't seem to accumulate like the 'old' lacquer coating, it does seem to have a slightly higher propensity to permit rust to form on the steel cases used by Wolf if exposed to a humid environment as opposed to the 'old' lacquer coating which appears to provide a more significant barrier against moisture. So, there you have it. Pick your poison.  TK |
Before you jump all over every poster in this thread I'd just like to point out that the OP has changed his OP, So his original question had been answered. They just weren't the answers to the question that he meant to ask, they were the answers to the question that he did ask. He should have posted the question that he meant to ask and he would have got the answers that he meant to get........ Confused? Yes please  ETA, I keed, I keed |
