I am a "bargain shopper" when it comes to range ammo, my only requirement is it being manufactured here in the USA. I've shot my fair share of Blazer Brass in 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 auto with no problems or issues. The 124 gr. 9mm load shoots very well in my Shield 9 and all my other FS pistols. So unless I start seeing issues with it myself, I'll keep buying/shooting it :-)
