    Default 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.
    Bern-

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

    Is the firearm for carry? Is the firearm finicky?

    Your firearm should have at least 500, SD, trouble free rounds thru it.

    All the SD ammo I have in my firearms have been N.P.

    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.

    So you put $500 worth of SD ammo thru your carry gun{s}?

    I have no preference between brass and nickle plated brass- both work fine for me.

    I accidentally (cuz I'm a dumbass) bought steel cased Winchester 9mm at Walmart. I can't get that shit into my double stack mag more than 5/row deep. Too much friction I guess?

    I think the only steel ammo I have used was AK ammo, I don't think I've used it anywhere else.
