Guys,
The concern with Wolf ammo is the steel (as opposed to brass) casings. These can wear your handgun (especially the extractor) more quickly. Also, they were made with a shellac coating on them at one time that could gum up your gun in short order. I believe that they have rectified this though.
I am not as sure about the Blazers, but I believe that they have aluminum casings. The issue with these is the shavings they leave behind.
Take Care,
MLB

Take Care, MLB ML is right about the aluminum cases; The shavings are caused during extraction where the cases scrape the edge of the chamber mouth while under the extractor hook. This will cause the shavings to become imbedded behind the hook, breech face, and firing pin port, resulting in possible failures, firing pin ejection drag, and a spoiled day at the range. You can buy inexpensive ammunition without having to settle for cheap grades. |

I wouldn't shoot Wolf ammo with a slingshot. Not only is it extremely dirty, but their quality control is in question. Here is one example of many, showing the results of their garbage ammo. Some will argue with me, but that's fine. I don't use wolf. I typically use only new production US made ammo in my new production firearms. I do use Russian made and miltary surplus in my guns that were desgned for their use. Barnaul makes a good quality round but it is dirty. My Makarovs love it and it is inexpensive. I go through piles of patches and q-tips though. Here is a link of a recent Wolf brand incident. The shooter was not hurt, but the gun was. www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2832 |
