They worked fine for me.

I almost bought a .40 the other day for no other reason than every shop I went to that day only had .40 pistols and .40 ammo in stock .40 ammo is running about $8-10 cheaper a box than 9mm right now

.22lr is in stock a few places but I really can't bring myself to spend $60 for a box of 500 rounds. I've been mostly shooting my mosins since it's still $100 for 440 rounds

I believe that is known as an oxymoron . Nothing is legal in mass.

I am not sure on the logistics of that.

I noticed lots of .40 arouns, so I did exactly that last week, Stumbled upon a used Sigma .40 so bought it and wouldn't you know, now I can't find .40cal ammo anywhere

Love a TRP

I almost bought a TRP and then found out they were assembled in the US from Brazilian parts (or so I was told by SA). Still nice though.

Another note, got two boxes of TulaAmmo for the 9mm - boy is that stuff JUNK - oh, no dead rounds but sheesh, what a pain to load, several misfeeds [the first time with the Hi Power!] Crap, crap, crap.

Now the fun part - cleaning 'em! Weekday shooting at the range is great - no one there!

Interesting that tula caused you problems, I have a hi power and a cz75 and shoot tula and never had a problem. I would think a hi power is capable of shooting just about anything being such an old design.Ive shot 9mms from the 60s Might need some break-in. Mine is a 1977 and was wondering if yours being new is rated to shoot p ammo? HP is my favorite gun, always wished it could be outfitted with a decocker DA/SA

I know, that was my point. They are assembled either in Brazil or the USA (and so stamped Brazil or USA).

Never mind all target ammo is gone, only thing left is expensive personal defense ammo,,not that the target ammo was cheap, paid 40cents a round for federal 124g, bought a 1000. Target shooting is gonna be expensive this summer.
