Re: Silver Bear Ammo, Any Good?
I've used it in my P-64. After fifty rounds no failures to feed, no failures to fire, extracting clean with both the factory stock recoil spring and a Wolf 22 pound recoil spring. Very clean burning.
Groups at 25 yards with two hand hold were about five inches across. I'm still learning the trigger.
Silver Bear is a handsome looking round, it uses a more modest form of nickle plating, I think either zinc or tin plating. I'd be proud to have made it myself.
Definitely I will to buy more, more so at $100 per 1,000.

Never used it, but always wondered if the plating flakes off and gets to the internals??

Re: Silver Bear Ammo, Any Good?
Just my experience, the stuff is really dirty, but shoots great.
Bought 1000 rounds from Militaryshooters a while ago and never had a failure.
