I couldn't pass it up for so cheap. Its my first square plastic gun. The 9mm one. I shot a few rounds through it and it was okay accuracy with brass bullets, then I tried some aluminum ones, and they were all over the place. It never jammed so that's pretty good. But then I shot my CZ50 and put that 9mm to shame. I was hitting close to the bull at 50 yds, and my buddies never got on paper with their square plastic 40's. Felt kinda good about that. Has anyone else had accuracy issues with aluminum rounds? Is there a 9mm round that is more accurate than others? Thanks, have a good one! |

You mean Blazer ammo? My brother gave me a box of "flying ashtray" (big hollow points) 45ACP Blazer a long time ago & it worked all right in the AMT Long slide I had at the time. Used it in a bowling pin match & won a few $. Also shot some Blazer 25ACP in a 1914 Mauser I used to have, but I don't think those could hit a bull in the butt with a banjo using any kind of ammo. Haven't bought any since. For accurate 9mm, I stay with handloads. SW |

I run handholds only through my High Power and get better results than I did with factory loads. Granted, the factory stuff was CHEAP and only bought because I had to go shoot my new to me pistol. |

Thanks for the responses. I gotta start handloading. Im slowly getting the equipment together. Till then I might try to shoot as many different commercial brands as possible to see which on groups best. Thanks, Eli |

For what its worth, I use a 115 grain flat point Berry's plated bullet with 5.1 grains of Unique and a CCI primer. This works quite well for me. I did the math on this a while back and IIRC it runs about $7.30 per 50 to shoot. No, I didn't include the cost of brass in this as you can go to any range and pick up all you want just about any time.
