    Default Armscor USA 45 ACP 230 gr. FMJ

    Has anyone here shoot any of the Armscor USA 45 ACP 230 gr. FMJ ?
    Form what I have read online, the Armscor Precision ammunition is Phillippines made and the QC is a little loose, FPS spread and accuracy has a fairly wide spread.
    The Armscor USA ammunition is made here in the USA and is supposed to have tighter tolerances on the QC.
    The price for the USA is $ 0.25 higher per box of 50 over the Phillippines ammunition.
    The price I found per 1,000 round case for either is almost irresistible.
    So if anyone here has shot either one of these please let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks,

    Bob.

    No, I avoid it based on reputation.

    I've shot 4 boxes of the non-US armscor ammo thru my RIA 1911. No malfunctions at all. Felt like it had more kick than the other factory ammos I was using. As for accuracy, I wouldn't be able to tell but it seemed the same as any other commercial ammo. If I didn't reload, I'd be happy to use armscor ammo if I got a good deal on it.

    My RIA 1911 just passed 2000 total rounds, did my 2nd detailed strip of it last night (first one was when I first got it to clean out all the oil they ship it in) and everything still looks great.

    I've used the USA made Armscor .380 in my Glock 42 with good results. Fairly accurate and wasn't dirty so I can't complain. I'd still be shooting that at the range if I hadn't bought a bunch of CCI Blazer Aluminum on sale on Black Friday.
