| Is Magtech ammo any good? Saw some at Gander MT. Just wanted some info! |

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Magtech sucks. I have had nothing but trouble running Magtech .40sw and 9mm. In my XD40, the 180 JHP failed to feed multiple times, for some reason it kept hanging on the feed ramp. This is the only ammo I have ever fired through it that had problems. WWB, UMC, PMC, S&B, Blazer, Speer all were flawless. FTfeed is one thing, but I also had four FTF and a FTE. This is with 200 rounds. No way I would buy this again. In my 9mm, I didn't have as many fail to feeds, though I had a few (124 JHP). Also 2 FTF in 100 rounds. The FTF rounds were all solid primer strikes, save one (on the XD), but all failed to fire on the second attempt as well. Maybe it was just (two) bad batches, but I won't purchase Magtech again. |

Over 6k rounds of 9mm through my G17 and about 1k through my USP 45. For range ammo it can't be beat. In all those rounds I've never had a FTF or a missfeed. My local dealer only occasionaly has it in stock and I tend to buy a few cases when they get it in. Just ran through 2 boxes of their first defense ammo and I have to say I'm impressed. Handles reasonably well for a +P load and was dead on accurate. Although there is a wee bit of muzzle flash. |
