I just got some Ranger T ammo for my 9mm and 45 pistols and, of course, have heard about some feeding problems in other smith 3rd gens. I have NEVER had a misfeed in my 5906, and havent heard about anything until now. Anyone out there using Ranger Ts having any issue???

Absolutely zero problems with Ranger T in either 9mm, 40 S&W or 45... standard or +P. I can't say that about CorBon and Federal.
 
Ranger T's are top tier SD ammo, I run the standard pressure verion of 45 ACP in my 4506's with ZERO issues. I also ran it in a 645 that I had also zero probs. I used to run the 127+p+ version of the 9mm in my 5904 and it ran great with it, very accurate.
 
I have shot tons of the 9mm stuff, from 124gr +P to the 147gr standard pressure stuff, never had an issue in my 5903s, 6906, 3913, or any of my Glocks.

We issued the 124gr +P 9mm for duty ammo in 2006 when we couldn't get our regular supply of Gold Dot. It proved to be a very accurate, reliable and effective.
 
Took them out today and put some through my 4566, 3913, and 5906. No problems at all, accurate enough to leave one jagged hole, now my new SD load.

The +p did have some extra "UMPH", but easy to control with the smiths. I still really like my 4566. :-)

Never heard of a problem with Winchester Ranger T in any pistol, and S&W 3rd Gens would be the LEAST likely to have a problem, at least in my opinion. Of the typical LE duty type weapons, the S&W is least likely to have feeding issues, least like to fire out of battery, and so forth.
