Is this stuff worth while and do you think it will cause problems in my CZ75?

    CCI Blazer ammo is garbage. It has an aluminum case and berdan primers I have had it before and outside of it's low pricee it had nothing going for it. With all the Russian and other Eastern block ammo coming in cheaper than CCI it doesnt even have that going for it

    I have used it in my Taurus 99 and it has been very reliable and accurate. I have never had a malfunction using it.

    A large police dept here in PA was using CCI Blazer as training ammo and it was causing the firing pin hole in the breech face of Glock pistols to deform. They also had many feeding problems and quite a few rounds with no powder, causing the bullet to lodge in the barrel. I would stay away from Blazer, expecially with low price stuff like Federal American Eagle, PMC, and MagTech ammo available.

    Hey , The first time a department sent me to the police academy back in the early 80's , they (the academy range) used the cci blazer stuff exclusively ... we NEVER had any problems and they (the range) loved it , Ihave fired a bunch of it since , we now order it in our shop (Im a gunsmith) and have not had any problems...go figure , get you a few boxes and try it!!!!!!!!!!!!

    CCI BLAZER AMMO:I haved used the cci blazer on these guns. Tec-9, ruger 95, hi point carbine, berreta 92 and glock 17.Whoever says that these ammo its garbage its Nutz!! These its a excellent ammunition specially for target practice (115gr fmj).Very reliable and jam free. I buy them by the case and i have never ever had a problem with it. When i was looking for ammo for my tec-9 blazer came to the rescue. Those of us that know about guns know that tec=9 have these peculiar problem with jammin. I tried pmc, remigton, federal, and others and i had the same jammin prob until i used the Blazer. I used to shot my tec with a 50rds mag and i never had a prob.USE IT!! thats my recommendationHAIL

    One day at my club I had to punch bullets out of a guy's barrel twice that was shooting blazer ammo. After seeing that, I wouldn't put it in one of my guns. My 2 cents.

    Never had a problem except with my HK P7's. The price advantage they had isn't really that great anymore.

    Ballisticly, it's not bad, but the aluminum case is abrasive and will wear a chamber faster that brass.

    Save, research, then buy the best.Join the NRA, NOW!Teach them young, teach them safe, teach them forever, but most of all, teach them to VOTE!

    I am a new shooter with a Ruger KP-89 and cheap by nature. The FFL dealer that has handled my transfers/purchases is Astro Ammo & Guns and I shoot his reloads @ $6.60 per box of 50 with no jams or miss fires. It is cheaper to shoot than my Taurus Tracker in .22 WMR!!
