How many people prefer to shoot nickel plated ammo in their semi auto pistols?
How many people prefer to shoot nickel plated ammo in their semi auto pistols?
Dudes,
I know the difference between brass and nickel plated brass.
I know the stated differences between the two casings.
I am curious to know how many dudes here prefer to use nickel plated casings in their semi auto pistols (presumably for a smoother feed).
As a subcategory, I am particularly interested to know if the active and retired LEOs here prefer to run brass or nickel plated brass.
All relevant commentary is appreciated.
Thank you.

All of my SD/HD ammo is nickel plated (HST and Critical Duty), but range ammo is plain old brass.

I have no preference of nickel or brass. Most SD ammo is sold in nickel, I find it sometimes on the range and I will reload it but I don’t search it out.
I do like it for my old .38 but just cause it looks better as does not tarnish.

Nickel plated ammo isn't worth a dime. Get it?

For range use, I always just use brass cased or sometimes steel.
But my carry ammo for both pistols and rifles is Speer Gold Dot which is nickel plated brass.
If you folks havent done so yet, check out the .223\5.56 Speer Gold Dot ammo.

Another vote for brass on the range, nickel for SD.
