New box of 9mm for me

[Northern_Son]

Hey fellas,

A buddy gave me a box of Herter's Select (made by Blazer) yesterday. It's a 50 round box, 115gr, aluminum case, NYLON coated :-\ ammo. He got it at Cabela's and they call it TNJ (Total Nylon Jacket?). I haven't had a chance to fire it yet, I'll try and report when I do but I'm curious what your experience is with it. I guess it was fairly inexpensive.

First... it was exciting just to hear about a box of 9mm

Sounds like a clone of the Federal Nyclad (which everyone liked - 125 gr. for .38 sp).

Wow, here is an old photo of my new SR9c, my great Cabellas shooting gloves and a box of Herters blue tip ammo. The lead is covered with blue plastic. It shot just like any other range ammo. I think Cabellas here in town had it on sale for $7 per 50. Den

Hey Denny.....Do those plastic tips leave plastic residue in the gun or barrel.... :-\

 

[framedcraig1]

$7 per fifty?! Forget the brass...that is GREAT!!

That was a long time ago. I know my barrel was fine and no bad memories about that ammo. Den

Never heard of plastic tips, but thats not supprising, thanks for the pic and the info and by the way nice holster, what holster is that?

 

[Denny4kids]

Thats a Galco holster. When I bought my 9c it was for concealed carry. I wanted to begin competing in IDPA the next weekend and that was the only holster around. The holster fits and works great. IDPA rules state that if your holster has a lock or strap you must use it. For a new competitor that was another thing to add to the stress. Its all good for me. I shot that setup for 3000 rounds of competition and still run it for one stage of each match almost all the time to stay current. I kind of threw myself into the fire when showed up to compete. I now feel at home shooting from behind cover, around car tires, from a moving golf cart, sitting and shooting under a table. walking and shooting a moving target, Target ranges from 1 foot to 50 yards. I better stop or I will fill up the page. Needless to say I know my carry weapon like the back of my hand. Den
