    Bought some of this stuff. Went to range with Sig MPX pistol and VP9. Both had a few hundred rounds thru them without issue.

    MPX (Gen 2. Freshly cleaned and lubed) would fairly consistently not go into battery and a few stovepipes. Tried 3 different mags (gen 1 and 2). No rhyme or reason when it would happen. Sometimes could do a full mag dump, sometimes initial round wouldn't chamber fully, sometimes wouldn't happen til 1/2 way thru a mag.

    VP9 (freshly cleaned and lubed) would stay about 1/8" out of battery randomly. Again 3 different mags. Seemed to get better as day went on but I gave up and packed it up due to the heat.

    Any ideas? They have both ran perfecta 115gr without issue. All I brought was the LAX 124 gr with me so couldn't try other ammo unfortunately

    Well I have used their 147g ammo in both my Glock 34 and S&W 986 wheelgun and like it a lot. Bought 1000 then later bought another 500. I like using the heavier bullets for knockdown steel matches. Have not used any in my 9mm AR, only because using the 147g there would be a waste of good money. My 9mm AR eats everything so far except Remington UMC reloads (yellow box).
