What Shooters Praise (The Pros)

Reliability

The majority of reviewers report flawless cycling and feeding in various popular pistols, including Glock, Springfield XD, Ruger SR40, and S&W M&P 40, with many stating zero malfunctions even through thousands of rounds. Isolated negative feedback exists regarding jamming in specific pistols, and a small number mentioned one or two misfeeds, but issues appear rare overall.

Performance

Buyers consistently praise the ammo’s tight groupings, manageable recoil, and consistency in point of impact compared to premium defense loads. Some cite hard primers, though most state solid ignition performance after lubrication or in well-maintained pistols. Users generally consider the ammo clean, with only a couple of mixed opinions on dirtiness.

Bargain

Frequently cited as a best-in-class value purchase—numerous buyers highlight low cost per round, fast delivery, and sales/coupons as key benefits. Many say they would buy again for both affordability and performance, feeling they receive strong value for bulk purchases.

- A couple of reviews mention hard primers but indicate reliable ignition after adjusting lubrication or using compatible pistols.

A: Sellier & Bellot continues to use their primer sealant on their "police" line of ammunition. Even though the primers are no longer sealed on this ammo, the moisture barrier is still effective and will shoot well if stored for many years.
