Freedom munitions range report FTF?? Maybe Glock is the problem?

[Wild West]

So I keep reading how people with Glocks are having FTF or FTE from FM using 9mm 115 gr re manufactured and new rounds.

So I went to the range today with a Sig P226 and and shot 100 rds of each of the following:

FM 115 gr. reman - no problems at all...in fact my groups were tightest with these...go figure!

FM 115 gr. new - no problems at all

FM 124 gr. new - Again, no problems at all. I really liked these btw

Just for fun I bought some Perfecta 115 gr and shot 100 of those too. Pardon the pun but they were perfecta!

I also shot my Springfield XD 45 using FM 230 gr reman and again not one problem after 100 rds.

I know that shooting only 100 rds of each is a small sample size, but ive honestly shot 1,000's of FM rds in all grains New and RM and have never had one FTF or FTE or stovepipe with my Sig or my Springfield XD 45. So with these results I feel confident in saying that as long as your not shooting a Glock, you're good to go with this ammo!

I've never had a problem with FM ammo either.

No. Chrono results? I'm disappointed 😉. Thanks for the report.

Usually reload but have used FM time and time again with no real problems not even in my Glock's, I wasn't even aware they had issues in Glock's

[Eljay]

I've ran thousands of FM and never had a problem until recently, when I had a couple of jams on one box. I THINK some of the powder loads were a bit light, and Glocks definitely can have issues with light loads with the factory recoil spring.

I do have the sense that FM's quality control is slipping a little. For bulk ammo it's good - I'd still rather shoot it than Miwall or whatever - but it used to be flawless.

FM quality has decreased over the past months.. that's really been the main issue not the type of gun it's shot out of.

Glocks tend to come with a heavy recoil spring. *****cat reloads at the low end of the loading spectrum will not reliably cycle the action.

Medium to hot loads? Glocks function flawlessly.
