Steel case ammo for use in semi-auto pistols

[BK Meyers]

Hello all,
I'm considering buying some steel cased ammo for use in a couple of semi-auto pistols. I've used brass and aluminum cased in these pistols with no issues or concerns (a couple of 1911's, Taurus PT92/99 and Taurus PT111 Mil-Pro).

While I've shot steel cased thru my AR's with no issues (save 1 failure to extract) I have yet to use steel cased in my pistols.

Thoughts, opinions, real-life use experiences???

Thanks,
BK

never had an issue with it. Used in in Glock 9mm on many occasions. Not so much on the 1911, but occasionally I have.

I have shot quite a bit of steel cased 9 and .45. Never had a problem. Used in xdm 9, XDS 45. Also my buddy shoots it in his beretta px4 and ruger sr 9

Cycles in my 9mm shield and was fine in the XD.

Works fine in my .45 XD

DONT DO IT! Send me all of your steel cased ammo for destruction.

Haven't bought any steel cased pistol ammo yet but I'll keep your offer in mind!!!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. There's a lot of negative "hype" with steel case but for the most part it is going to go bang every time you pull the trigger.

I have THOUSANDS! of steel cased rounds through my handguns with no ill effects.

I have a XD9 that is 9+ years old. I've owned it since new and taken care of it. Sometimes it stovepipes steel cased Tula. Good practice clearing jams I suppose. The gun runs 100% with brass case. Has probably 1500 ish rounds through it.

And my RRA (Armscor) 1911 too, but it has been modified with a throated barrel and polished ramp and breech face
Tuned extractor.
