    It is turk. On par with a lot of the eastern european stuff. Comparable to zvs or the balkan stuff that got rebranded as hotshot by century iirc. Haven't chronod any to test consistency but it runs glocks, hks, etc on the handgun side and the mp5s and uzi's on the subgun side (uzi's will run on just about anything though so take that for what it's worth).

    Can't comment on reloadability as I haven't tried yet.

    Got the same email and was wondering about it myself. As long as it doesn’t kaboom my gun, I’m good with it.

    ETA, sounds like they kaboom the gun. I’m a pass.

    The Turkish lira collapsed, so that's why you're seeing this flood of cheap Turkish ammo and shotguns.

    I would point out that the P320s tend to not have such awesome chamber support, which is why marginal ammo can sometimes result in case ruptures (that blow out the extractor).

    First the Turkish lira...next, the USD?

    Hey everybody, thanks for your Comments. Though the number of Comments is too small to draw a statistical inference, I have read enough to know that I will pass on this ammo, out of an abundance of caution (I have a P320-M17), and because I can...

    even though as I am writing this post, my Nest Egg is being devalued deliberately as a way to transfer wealth from those who have it to those who want it...or is this something like from each according...?

    Anyway, thanks, and Merry Christmas all! 8)

    Paying more than the $290 Turan, but have confidence in the higher-price stuff...

    I will be acquiring my desired 1K rounds (I dislike it when I drop below...oh, I should just shut up...).

    There is a YouTube video of some dumb ass removing a stuck round. One of the comments suggested what I would consider the safest & proper removal of a stuck round. Of course his pride was hurt and lashes out.

    In any event another issue with Turan rounds.
