I have a Sig P220, at the gun store I asked for 500 rounds of 45 acp ammo. I wasn't paying attention what kind.
As I was leaving two employees saw that I was buying russian ammo and warned me against it. They said that the steel casings can damage the gun.
I also got an email from Sig Sauer saying not to use the steel ammo as it will damage the gun, and significantly reduce the lifespan of the gun.
I called Sig Sauer as well, and they said basically the same thing.
I also called Glock, and the person said that the russian ammo should not damage the glocks.
There have been numerous reports of russian ammo causing, squibs, misfires, and even causing guns to explode.
I shot 3 boxes of the Tula ammo and I had numerous misfires with it in my Sig. I never had misfires before with that gun. Fortunatately, the store refunded me the other 7 boxes.
I also learned that the russian ammo may work better in rifles because they have stronger firing pin strikes and looser chambers.
What do you think of russian ammo?
Thank you,
