I always just take the test fire brass and throw it in my brass pile. My svx serial g19 came with two aluminum cci spent cases. Kind of surprising.

I dont think that the included IBIS cases are a "recommendation" from glock to use aluminum cased ammo. It is most likely a cost saving measure for the test firing and requirement for the cases for some states.

Blazer Aluminum rocks!

I prefer it over steel for plinking ammo

Had a debate with a guy at work about using Blazers in glocks. So I called up a Guy I know that works in the service dept. of Glock and he told me that's all they use to test fire the guns. Thousands of rounds a year.

Why would anybody suggest that Glock recommends aluminum brass, based on the fired cases that came with their Glock?  It's befuddling!

The Blazer works fine for me. Shoot it often.

Yep. Majority of the stuff I shoot.  Usually about $1 cheaper per box, and when buying 40 boxes at a time it adds up. Plus, I don't reload so I don't feel guilty about leaving it on the ground.

Since this is the tech forum: took my new G19 Gen4 out today, no issues at all.

I called Glock about a minor issue I was having with a new G19; the rep I spoke with specifically recommended I try CCI Blazer aluminum.

I have shot literally thousands of rounds of this stuff in my Glock 30sf.

I have never had an issue with it, it always goes bang and it is a bit easier on the wallet.
