Glock 19 ammo question
« on: December 02, 2009, 06:03:22 AM »
I recently picked up a used 2nd gereration glock 19.  A friend gave me a few boxes of 9mm ammo that he no longer had a need for, he's a LEO and they have switched to .40's.  One box is made by Winchester with the word 'ranger' printed across the 'W' logo, and says 'For Law Enforcement Use Only'.  They are 115gn JHP and marked 9mm+P+, that's the part that my question concerns.  Can one safely shoot +P+ in a Glock, as it doesn't have anything stamped on the gun, as I thought all +P rated guns were.  He says he's shot 'thousands' through his old 17 that he used to carry.  Just wondered what you guys thought on this, thanks in advance.

The "Ranger" ammo is a common duty round with many police departments. It's a more "Politically Correct" talon round. It will work fine in your Glock. Shoot a few and keep the rest for your HD loading. If you're in the same boat as most of us, you couldn't afford to buy enough +P+ ammo to wear out your Glock. The cheap stuff is just as much fun to shoot, and a bunch cheaper!

I myself plink with the cheap Blazer ammo before I got a progressive press, in order to keep up with the wife's shooting needs plus mine. It will take you years to wear out your Glock!
