I think somehow, people are missing the point of this post. Its not to critiize or put down peoples choice of ammo.Or tell them not to shoot UMC's. So there is no need to debunk or tell me how well it does in your gun.
The point was, to warn that even UMC's which are lightly/weak loaded can have issues that can be dangerous. And if you have stovepipes, or jams, don't just keep on shooting. Stop, check things out. A pierced primer, for experienced reloaders know you have reached a critical level.
Hope this makes more sense now.

I dont understand why you would put this post up if you dont want people to comment about it. Brushbustin was just trying to say that it shoots well in his gun, I dont understand what was wrong with that.

if youwere just trying to tell us to stop shoting after a stove pipe or a jam which any "gun guy" already knows you could have just said that.

RE: UMC Ammo issues
I can't stand factory UMC in my pistols. I get all kind of problems with FTF, FTE, bad jams where I have to pry the unfired cartridge out of the chamber. Brass seems pretty cheap, and the powder charge leaves a little to be desired. Had problems in my Steyr M40 andWalther P-1 and have usedWinchester white box since.
