Default Fiocchi Ammo is OK with me....

A few days ago I was rummaging around Sportsman's Warehouse when I spotted a few boxes of Fiocchi 9mm 124gr FMJ. The price was very right, so I grabbed some. My Shield has run perfectly with all the other brands of ammo it's been fed, so why not try the Fiocchi? I was a bit skeptical as I've read mixed reviews about this stuff, but after 250 rounds at the range yesterday, I can say it performed flawlessly. I plan of heading back to the store tomorrow to see if I can get any more. At $11.99 per box, its great practice ammo. Hit POA with every round.

Ran 200 rounds through my pistols of the 115gr flavor without issues. Ran pretty clean too.
Picked up mine from PSA for 13.99/box. You got a great deal.

Have run 100's of 115 & 124 grain Fiocchi rounds through my M&P 40 (9mm conversion barrel) without a single issue. In fact the 124 load is the most accurate load of any brand I use. Good stuff in my opinion.

Be well all

I don't specifically reach for the Fiocchi ammo on the shelf, but if I'm in need, or it's all that's available, or even if the price is right I will buy it without reservation. I've had 9mm, .45 and various shotgun loads. Never had a hiccup with it.

I had trouble with the fmjtc version of their ammo.

The jhp and regular fun ran flawlessly.

The fmjtc was an issue in two guns so itn wasn't the shooter.

I have had nothing but good results from Fiocchi. I buy it when the price is right.

I have been using Fiocchi .223, & 7.62x39 in my long guns. Great ammo. Several years ago, I met Mr. Fiocchi at the Shot Show. Nice guy. GARY

My LGS here in raleigh had boxes of 50 for $20. not a great deal, but my new Shield 9mm didnt seem to mind the price. All 50, no problems. Fiocchi is OK with me too.

I've run it through my .32 Walther and Mauser pistols with zero issues. It's usually a decent price, too.

Glad it worked for you. My Shield 40 would not feed it at all. Couldn't even get one round off. My M&P 40 Pro ate every round with no issues.

European range ammo like Fiocchi and S&B is slightly hotter than American range ammo. Not quite +P rated, but the chronograph shows it to be about 50 fps faster than Winchester white box.

I've shot a bunch of the FMJs too without issue (OK, it was through my Sig).

I picked up a couple of boxes of the 147gr Extrema but haven't shot any yet. (I suppose that's could be a good thing).

Smile Like Fiocchi !!!

I've ran 9mm, .40, 38 SPECIAL, 357 and have never had an issue. I usually find it is always one of the least expensive too.
