Anyone use Armscor ammunition
I was wanting to practice using my 1911 with some ammo that's got a little more punch than regular FMJ. But Gold Dots, HSt, and Critical Defense is pretty expensive.
So I bought a couple of boxes of Armscor hollow point for $15.00 each. A few places on line have them for $12 - $13 a box. They look pretty good from the outside. In a few days I'll go to the range and give them a test. I'm thinking they should be good practice ammo. I know Armscor use to be total crap. But they have moved the manufacturing to the US and they are supposed to be better quality.

Their .22 magnum works better than any other manufacturer in my AMT Automag II. That thing is finicky as hell.

I've only shot their .22 LR. It works.
That is about the only brand I haven't ran through my 1911, though.

I went to the range last evening and shot two magazines of them. I didn't have any issues with them, they cycled perfectly. It does seem they aren't quite as accurate as Speer Gold Dot or Hornady Critical Defense. But it would be easy to hit someone in the head or center of mass at 50 feet.
I'm going to buy some more to practice with. And for plinking I'll still use the cheapest brass case ammo I find. |

Did you notice it was a tad warmer than other "store bought" ammunition?

A lot of European 9mm ammo is loaded hot by US standards.
