Aluminum casings?
I just bought some federal 9mm with aluminum case. I'm assuming there is nothing wrong in shooting them through my Glock 43?

Well, we all know what happens when we assume. But I'd say you're good to go.

There's nothing wrong with shooting them.I've shot some 115gr Federal and Indepndence out of a Model 39-2 and Model 59 with good results.
The price is equal to or maybe higher in some instances than their boxer primed brass case alternatives.
With the same priced brass cased ammo(Perfecta,Federal red box etc) you get the empties to reload or sell.

I have fired many thousands of them with no problems at all. They are cheap at Walmart and I spend my reloading time on the bigger stuff.

Aluminum cases have been around for far longer than most expect. There was aluminum case experimentation done prior to WWI and quite a bit more was done during WWII.

Should be no problem. I saw the Independence 9mm at Academy on Saturday for 17.99 for 100 rds. That's around 1.45 cheaper than the Federals are at WalMart.

Just a way for a company to put out ammo and make a profit
with the cost of materials used.
The ammo on the shelves today looks like the grocery store
when you go down the cereal isle.
All shapes, colors, sizes etc. and they all go "Bang".
If your pistol action works.......
keep pulling that trigger.

They work fine in both my Shield and my Ruger 1911 9mm.

I've burned thousands of them in several different pistols, no issues. The only firearms I'm aware of that you shouldn't use them in have fluted chambers. The MP5 comes to mind, possibly the HK P7 series.
