Received 500 rounds of TZZ 89 .45acp from a friend this weekend while on our annual hunting trip. Interesting story is that he got them from the guard a long time ago when they exchanged their 1911 for the current 9mm. This took place, according to him, in the early 90's. Anyway, they gave him a boat load of this ammo along with magazines. I also found it interesting that they were using Israel made ammo.

I shot TZZ ammo as late as 2000 in the military.  It came from the service sponsored marksmanship teams.  Worked great but was pretty dirty.  I would love to have a couple cases nowadays...

Spooky

At MCRD PI the rifle and pistol team use tzz 89 and 88 ammo in there 1911 pistols
They use the 230 ball round and the 185 Wadcutter round  both are tzz ammo

Excellent brass for reloading. I personally got 35+ loadings out of TZZ 89 brass before I felt like retiring it.
