Ammoman .40 Winchester JHP

[cmoe25027]

Please forgive me if this is a beat to death subject, but I did a quick search and found nothing on it.

Has anyone here purchased and used the .40 Winchester "Law Enforcement" JHP's that ammoman.com is selling shipped for $399 per 1000 shipped? Seems like an awesome deal, could definately get lots of practice with your carry ammo. I have a Glock 23 and just ordered a Glock 27(both .40's), and am very interested in this ammo, but would really like some opinions/reviews before I buy a case of ammo... Thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers,
Collin

I think Glock will not warranty their pistols if you use reloaded ammo. However, I have had no issues using reloaded ammo in any of mine.

I don't think it's reloaded. It doesn't say anything about being reloads or remanufactured on the site....

it's NOT reloaded ammunition. It's bonded hollow point. I ordered a couple cases from them a while back and it shoots great out of my usp 40, glock 22, and sig pro 40.

they are seconds, not suitable for self defence IMHO.

That's your opinion. The ammo is simply a contract over-run for some LE agency. The Z indicates simply that it is an other than standard factory loading; it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the quality of the ammo.

This "seconds" nonsense crops up every few months and is generally posted by people why don't know what they are talking about.

One of the dealers in my area had a similar deal on Federal .40S&W HydraShok. They acquired 50k of the stuff when the FBI decided not to accept all the order.

and thats your opinion, seems the only peeps of that opinion are the ones buying or selling the stuff. even the other ammo dealers wont touch it.


good luck!

Wrong.

Surplusammo.com has it; my local dealer has it.

As stated above, it's an overrun, not seconds...and as stated above, people who don't know what they're talking about like to badmouth it.

I'd carry it with no qualms.

FWIW--the only company that that I've seen selling seconds of any of their defensive lines are Speer (Gold Dots)...and their ammo is quite visibly marked "training use only". I have no doubts Winchester would be doing the same thing if there were any issues with this ammo.

If it says Winchester, it will go bang.
A quick check of www.amoengine.com- .40_S&W tells me you've found a good deal. There's plenty of cheaper FMJ, but that's a very good price for JHP.

Awesome info, thanks all!

I bought a case from Ammoman. I've fired about 250 through my Glock 27 with no issues whatsoever. These are the PDX1 rounds that retail for about $1 each. If I had the extra cash at the moment I'd order a couple thousand rounds.

and people who spent their hard earned money on it wont admit its not sold as first run ammo and like to badmouth people that know more than them and are trying to look out for them.

Please provide the actual letter from Winchester supporting your contention that the ammo is unsafe for SD use!!!

You can't and it isn't. This is the second time you have been caught posting BS.
