Can someone give me the pros/cons to shooting steel cased 9mm ammo. I would be shooting them through a Glock 19 and a Rock Island 1911 in 9mm. I know you can't reload steel, but I don't reload anyways. I would be buying the ammo for plinking purposes only, and I know steel is quite a bit cheaper. Just looking for some advice. Thanks everyone for your help!
In the grand scheme of things I don't think steel case ammo would hurt a thing on your Glock. I suppose it may put some wear on the extractor over time but you'd have to run a bunch of ammo through it before that would happen.
I've fired at least 2-3 thousand rds of Wolf pistol and rifle ammo over the last fifteen yrs. with no wear or damage noticable on my guns. Maybe a bit dirtier chamber/action to clean after 100+ rds fired, but it ain't no thang for shooter who does his maintenance.
Nothing wrong with it.
If it functions then I doubt there is much of a downside.
Pro's, cheap.
Con's, dirty.

I have shot thousands of rounds of steel cased ammo without any issues,no worries here.
Lots of steel... Just as above, cheap and dirty.
Cheap steel is good. I've shot all the cheap stuff, Wolf, Tula, etc...My Glocks eat it up. I only feed steel to my AK.
