There’s some online sales going on with this particular ammo. Decently reliable or something to avoid?
I’ve not had problems, but my Sigs and HK’s have not been particular.
Good luck.

It’s good stuff!
I shot many, many thousands of rounds of this over the past several years- 100% reliable, accurate ammo. Ive got about 3000 on tap now.
PSA has THE best price…$179 SHIPPED for 1000. Brownells has it too in an ammo can for I think $199…great deal too.
I use it as practice ammo because it is +p and matches my carry loads of 124gr +P GD or HST…hits to same POA in my G17/19.
Cant find my chrono notes just now- but it always chrono’s the same over time, and again , is a +P level load. Best range ammo out there ,in my opinion.
I think you can typically get it down to $180 shipped from Brownells if you wait for a code, like they have today. I’m not supposed to be buying anymore gun stuff for a bit but I’ve been very tempted by that stuff as I also carry 124 +P GD and have a comp’d KKM.

Q4318 is my everyday-carry ammo, so I’m betting my life on it. It’s a bit snappier than regular 9mm stuff and inspires confidence that it’ll cycle reliably.
I’ve shot a few thousand rounds of it with no issues through Berettas and Glocks. Uni-Vibe is right that its a little hotter than most ball ammo.
Win 9mm Nato works very well with the comp’d KKM/Roland combo. I also use it as training ammo with a comp’d G19. I haven’t had any issues quality wise.
If you need ammo cans, Brownells sells it in a 50cal can and all the boxes are M882 marked.
As mentioned Brownells gives $20 off $200 or 10% off often.
I reload & I have several thousands of 9mm brass waiting to be reloaded, but the price of 9mm practice ammo the last few years makes reloading it hardly worth the time. So…I just bought another 1000 of the NATO 9mm 124gr from PSA.
I buy that regularly and it is really good.
My go to practice and training ammo. Good to go.
Only drawback is that the primer are crimped and the crimp must be reamed or swaged out before reloading.
I have a primer pocket swager but I don’t bother with these cases because I already have piles of nine that don’t have the crimp. I just decap 'em and put 'em in the scrap bucket.
But again, I depend on Q4318 to stay alive in the big city. Good stuff.
I love 9mm NATO. It’s always worked for me and it’s my favorite range round. I buy it whenever I can.
0 issues through a couple thousand rounds, almost all in competition, winning several. I do not notice any difference in recoil, but I am 6’4” and 285lbs, with XL hands.
I’m 5’10" 180 pounds, with at least XL hands, more likely XXL. Q4318 recoil is just a tad snappier than SAAMI spec feels like. It’s confidence-inspiring, but won’t slow your shooting down.

How does this compare to the MEN 124 gr nato?
I believe the Winchester is “hotter” as in its American Nato spec which is similar in pressure to +P ammo. The MEN is European Nato Spec, which is a lower pressure, though not as low as say Blazer 115gr. I have shot quite a bit of the MEN 124gr Nato, including through a comp’d G19 and it runs ok. Blazer, as a comparison would cause failures to eject (stovepipes) and failures to feed. The MEN is very good ammo IMO.
The MEN cases I’ve seen are not crimped.
Not crimped, though looks like they are lacquer sealed
