In spite of how it may sound someitmes, I take very good care of my firearms. I do believe in learning where their limits are though. I always check to see if my guns will run steel cased ammo, and how they react to water and adverse conditions. Nothing more than what might be encountered by the average active duty soldier. For myself, I'd rather find these things out in a controlled environment. I see nothing wrong with it. Clean it appropriately when you're done, and continue to maintain your weapon so it serves you well. I look forward to what I believe will be a long and healthy track record with the Apex striker in my pistols.
Apex Heavy Duty striker range report
Before going to the range I picked up the cheapest box of Russian steel cased ammo (Monarch) from the local sporting goods store just to see how they would function. I also carried some bulk Blazer brass 115 gr. I shot at 150 or more of the Blazer with no problems. I did however find 5 duds in the Russian steel cased. Looking at the primers it seemed like they had the dimples where they had been struck soundly with the striker but I have absolutely no prior experience with this or any other Russian and/or steel cased ammo so I don’t know what to expect performance wise. Everything cycled reliably if it went bang, so that’s always encouraging. Just thought I’d put this out there FYI.
