I just ordered a few boxes to get me through the Spring.

Coupon Code: SK910 for $10 off your order

**UPDATE - DO NOT BUY **

stuff is horrible, 100% FTF on every round tried so far.

Eh Pakistani? I feel safer riding the village bycicle than using that in my pistol.

jeffx · 02-22-2010, 07:43 PM

Don't knock it 'til you try it. Plenty of positive reviews for it. I'll give it a try to save a few $100. That's a couple more classes I can afford to sign up for now. And I can stop supporting WalMart for a while.

Allstar Tactical · 02-22-2010, 10:12 PM

Nice! We actually have some fiocci boxes of 50 coming in. I'll be posting the price soon

tinker · 02-23-2010, 05:51 AM

I saw that in their mailer, but I thought it said it was corrosive. Acording to the online discription is says its non-corrosive. Maybe I'll have to check that out a bit more.

jeffx · 03-06-2010, 06:44 PM

Petrov, next time I will take your advice.

Stuff is horrible, FTF on every round, I could not get a single round to fire tonight, some I fed through 3 times to see if multiple hits on the primer might get it to work. Every round a dud!

rjhauser · 03-06-2010, 07:27 PM

every type of ammo I have recieved out of pakistan has been a dud.

thanks for saving me some $$.

i was thinking about it....now I am not. although I can use some 9mm to get me through the spring....

Petrov · 03-07-2010, 12:22 AM

paki made its the best!

tinker · 03-07-2010, 06:34 AM

At least you can get some good malfunction clearing drills. Tap-rack-click, tap-rack-click.

Haha! That is exactly what I did ALOT of yesterday.

jeffx · 03-07-2010, 08:49 AM

Test results

waldershrek · 03-07-2010, 06:16 PM

I wonder if Sportsmans Guide will refund you....

av8r · 03-07-2010, 09:10 PM

Hey...those 6 yr olds make some damn fine ammo if you use the pistols their 8 yr old brothers make!

I believe most places will not refund ammo for almost any reason. It is well worth a try.

The customer reviews were all great about this ammo. Those people must stretching the truth or you got the one box with all the duds.

Petrov · 03-08-2010, 09:39 AM

Try firing it in a different gun?

jeffx · 03-08-2010, 04:29 PM

SG is taking back the ammo and giving me a refund. Excellent customer service. I would imagine a lot of folks will have problems with this batch of ammo if it won't even fire in a new Glock.

waldershrek · 03-08-2010, 11:26 PM

Well at least it turned out ok

nawtbird · 03-10-2010, 12:28 PM

Did they updated the website? When I originally looked at the link back when you posted I do not recall seeing this

""POF 2Z" Headstamp. Warning: This Ammunition has been loaded with hard primers and may not fire out of pistols. It will fire if you replace your hammer / striker springs. This Ammunition was manufactured for sub machine guns but will work in pistols with heavy hammer / striker springs."

No, that was not there before. Probably in response to a lot of complaints/returns, like mine.

waldershrek · 03-11-2010, 05:30 PM

I'm amazed SG is taking the initiative in telling people not to buy it

I'll bet there taking it back because without this warning, it could be considered fraud. But I'm just guessing

tinker · 03-12-2010, 06:05 AM

I've done alot of buisness with Sportsmans Guide and they are very customer oriented.
