Blazer Aluminum cased
Academy Sports Outer Loop has an endless supply of the Blazer Alum 9mm with a 4 box limit for 1.99/ea. The employees there claim it's very dirty ammo and I shouldn't use it through my carbine. Well I fed it through the Glock 45. It looked at me and said MORE COOKIE!!!! As I know it can run it(not that I had any Doubt the Glock will fire most anything).
Thoughts on the stuff? I think Blazer Brass is dirty as shit anyway and going with the assumption all other things are equal. Brass is just really expensive.
Opinions on the stuff? Do you see any logical reason my Carbine wouldn't cycle it? It's just pretty much a 92FS with a longer barrel and plastic stock.

$1.99? Sure you didn't forget a digit there?
92 is a delayed falling locking block action, CX4 is a delayed blowback.
But anyway it should run in CX4 I would think. I've shot a bunch of it without any real issues (but I don't recall ever shooting it in the CX4 though) but be aware and some guns can be a little quirky with it but if it runs with it stock up.
The dirtiness comes from the fact Alum doesn't seal the chamber as well as brass.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Re: Blazer Aluminum cased
You can get a case rupture in a direct blowback gun. Like a sub2000. The bolt might open before the pressure has dropped. Brass and steel can take it.
As far as dirty you can feed them wolf all day it won’t matter.

I don't have a sub gun, but I and some close friends have shot thousands of rounds in every conceivable pistol and caliber. It's no issue in handguns

I had that happen to me. Nothing like a bleeding face wound to ruin your day at the range.
