Steel not brass?

[IndyGunner]

Quick question. I use steel cased ammo in my ak, no problem... but would it be bad for my glocks if I used ammo like this...


I just want to shoot a lot and I dont want to pay the high price for brass. I understand that you cant re-load it.


Pros vs Cons would be appreciated too!

Each quantity is 500

$140

$80

$110

Nope, no cons at all to speak of.

Unless, of course, your individual weapon just doesn't "like" the ammo.

Shoot it without concern for damage/wear.

I shoot steel in most of my rifles, but I choose not to in my handguns.

i shoot wolf outta mine. i had a rough go at first but i bought an extra power hammer spring from wolff springs and it runs great now.

Extractors cost $20 and are simple to replace, just did some research on it. Seems like the consensus is that its not "good" for it, but it isnt going to hurt anything. Like I said, worst case scenario....

You'll be fine. Inspect your firearm, shoot a hundred rounds, and re-inspect for unusual wear. My guess is that if your pistol has any problem, it will be on feeding or on firing, not ejecting. Wolf uses very hard primers. Depending on the age of your glock, you may need to replace your striker spring to get reliable ignition.

Well, I don't think the steel will harm the barrel/breach any. Glock barrels are heat treated to a 58 Rockwell! Harder than Kelsey's nuts.

My glock 19 was purchased new jan 20 and the 27 was purchased new april 9th. Both were "test fired" so im assuming they were manufactured about 11 days before. Ive probably put 1000 through the 19 and 250 through the 27.

Thanks for the help sir.



Thanks to everyone else for the help as well!

I shoot WPA in my GLOCK 17. No problems. Shot two steel matches so ~ 300 rounds (yeah I suck right now)

shoot steel as long as the wepon will handle it, I shoot steel out of one of my older SA 45's, I think I had that one's throat cut deaper, for some reason. It throws a fit in some of my newer ones, just my 2 cents
