This may be a no-brainer but for me is uncharted territory, so I’m asking.
I’ve used lots of Wolf in AK’s and even AR’s, but never in any handguns. I have also been unable though, to find any of the usual WWB for my G19 (what with the mindless panic-driven hording frenzy we are currently engaged in…:rolleyes: ) for everyday plinking practice and IDPA matches.
Sooo, I just ordered 1K rounds of the ruskie stuff from one of the few sites I found any 9 mm on.
I figure – it is a Glock – so should be no problem. Am I right?
I had (2) “issues” with wolf and a g19. Both times out of spec cases that locked the firearm up. Pistol would not go all the way into battery. 1st one I could clear with effort but the 2nd time the pistol had to go visit a vise with a mallet and a block.
I will never use it again in my pistol and my friend will not allow it in his 9mm AR.
I’ve put a couple thousand rounds of the .40 cal through my G23 with only two stopages. Both times the case stuck in the chamber and I had to push down on the back of the extractor to free up the slide. Both times this was with the chamber being somewhat dirty. Ive also seen a couple of bad rounds that I cought while loading the mags. One had a tear in the case and the other had no primer. The ammo also tends to shoot somewhat dirty and leaves little bits of red primer sealant all over. All this being said, you cant beat it for practice.
Wolf primers seem to be harder to ignite, so if your Glock is set up for “gaming” you may get frustrated by light primer strikes. (reduced striker spring & reduced recoil spring, etc…)
Well, mine is a build off of a parted out .357 that the guy sold the slide assy and barrel to one guy and the frame to me. I used it with a Caspian slide as a G17 and it works well enough, but its not a ‘go to’ weapon. I use it for practice and as a backup. But other than the slide and some Magpul speed plates, its bone stock otherwise.
I just started to shoot Wolf out of my G19 on a trial basis. Mine a is new gun with stock springs. First two boxes - without problems; then 19 light primer strikes from a third box.
So, I had an excellent ball and dummy practice session today:D
I’ve dumped a couple K of Wolf thru my G17 and G19, I have experienced a couple meaning 4 FTF out of 2K rounds. This was aprox. 13 months ago, I have a Dillon 650 and reload most if not all what I shoot. Yet the price I got on the Wolf was hard to beat when I calculated my time and components.
I don’t go out of my way to shoot it but when it’s available it always works well in my Glocks.
There’s a certain Virginia Gun Nut that shoots Wolf exclusively out of his G22 and has done so for years. If there was a problem I bet he would have discovered it by now.
I spoke to him recently (via PM) and he appears to be doing good. He talked about going to the Vickers AK class coming up and I hope he can make it because I would love to see him and shoot with him again.
Ditto – excellent person. Was one of the regulars at the IDPA rifle and shotgun side matches that Templar and I used to run at Cavalier. Hope you guys can catch-up.
Off topic but I sure miss Virginia. I was stationed at Marine Barracks in 77. Then returned to Alexandria for awhile in 85. I went back to my brothers wedding in 06. Your fortunate to live in God’s country.
