What that the pros and cons of shooting steel case ammo? I Have used it the past few times I'v been to the range and do notice my gun gets dirtier but I thoroughly clean it after every use. Are there and significant drawbacks to it? I have a Ruger P95 if it makes a difference.

No real problems except some say it is hard on extractors. I do keep an eye on my extractors so far after a couple of thousand 9mm, a thousand or so .40 and .45 and 2500 rounds of .223 downrange and no ill effects. I clean and inspect the gun after each range session and have spare parts on hand.

Some ranges will only let you shoot brass case ammo.

Here in the Houston area most ranges only allow brass case ammo. I also have the P95DC and the thing I would watch, if I were shooting much steel, would be the barrel loading guide looking for any nicks or wear.

See part #1 in the exploded drawing located at the link:

I would make the last round out of each magazine a brasas cartridge. The brass helps keep the chamber cleaner by pulling the coating for the steel cases out with it. This allows you to shoot longer without pulling a head off.

like was said earlier. They are harder on extractors.

And it is usually Un-American! Buy American!
