Gruss Gott,Alle!

I have wondered about the Russian ammo

for a while,too.I have been told that the steel case ammo is far harder on the extracter than brass case.Is this true or merely another example of misinformation,which someone with my

limited experience falls victim to??

What were the cases of the original

9mm Luger made of?Since I'm far too

incompetent to load(reload) my own ammo,

I would be grateful for any information

regarding what others here have found to

be acceptable commercial brands.To date

my shooters (stainless AIMCO repros)

seem to like the 115gr. PMP (South African) the best of any I've tried.

However,it only shows up in fits and

spurts.I need to find something that is

available on a more consistent basis.

Until I hear differently,I think I'll

steer clear of the Wolf!I Know some of

my Walthers didn't like it.Mabybe they're just "finicky expensive guns",

but until I'm satisfied that the Wolf

is acceptable in all regards,I'm reluctant to expose any of my babies to

it.

Thanks in advance for any and all help

you in the Forum Volk can provide!

Tschuss! Mark M.
