Went looking for ammo this morning. Stopped at Academy on 81st. They had lots of Steel cases 9mm for $11 per 50. Talked to the guy at the counter told that it is harder on your gun. I now some indoor ranges ban it as its not reloadable. So is it worth getting? I shoot at an outdoor range so no problem there.

looks like steel core.

From Tulsa Firearms
9. Full cast lead, snake/bird shot, armor piercing, and tracer ammunition is strictly prohibited. This includes all steel jacketed, steel bullet or steel core rounds. These rounds can severly damage the backstop and are a fire hazzard.

It might wear the extractor faster than brass cases but you'd have to fire a lot of it to cause much damage. I run some of it from time to time and don't worry about it at all.

Tula is always a available at around $10 a box at bass pro. It runs fine but is a little dirty. It doesn't have a steel core but I think most ranges ban all steel cases.

If you don't reload, and don't plan to, buy the steel. I reload and shoot steel case anywhere I can't pickup my own brass. It's cheaper and gets the job done just fine.

I've run steel Monarch and Tula through my Glock 19 without a problem.

Tula - left & Monarch - right

Both are fairly dirty ammo but I'd go with the Tula because it doesn't have that weird coating that the Monarch does.

same here. I have fired over 600 rounds of both through my g19. Never had any problems.
