ZincPoint Ammo blew up this guy's Glock
Never heard of this company based in Huntsville, Texas. Video speaks for itself, According to him after shooting 800 rounds catastrophe struck. Their appeal is very cheap ammo. Just a heads up, you pays your money and you takes your chances.

I have seen that before from the unsupported chamber on the Glock barrel. The pistol wears and gets a little more headspace that cause the case to blow.

Glock has lawsuits against them over this.

Re: ZincPoint Ammo blew up this guy's Glock
There was a SIG that had one as well. Compounded by no response from Zincpoint nor any offer to replace or pay for the ammo he sent back to them to examine. Of course I doubt he'd want the ammo replaced. I think there were other similar complaints in some reviews of ZincPoint ammo as well.eyedoc wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 8:55 pm I have seen that before from the unsupported chamber on the Glock barrel.

Lots of BBB complaints about defective ammo.
Re: ZincPoint Ammo blew up this guy's Glock
Over the weekend a student brought Blazer Brass ammo to class. The first squib we cleared with a wooden dowel. The second put the bullet much deeper in the barrel and took a steel rod and a hammer to pound out. Fortunately he stopped shooting at the appropriate times. His Glock survived.
Anybody want some free ammo?

Re: ZincPoint Ammo blew up this guy's Glock
One of our local shooting ranges banned Blazer ammo years ago. They had a destroyed S&W revolver on display. I have used Blazer a time or two when the ammo shortage was severe with no issues, only their brass cased ammo.Paladin wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 4:29 pm Over the weekend a student brought Blazer Brass ammo to class.

Both Marksman and Pasadena Gun Center have banned it for many years. The display at Pasadena is eye opening.puma guy wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 1:00 pmOne of our local shooting ranges banned Blazer ammo years ago. They had a destroyed S&W revolver on display.

Pasadena Gun Center is the one I was talking about. I didn't know Marksman banned it. I shoot there a lot - been going there since the early 60's.Paladin wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 4:13 pmBoth Marksman and Pasadena Gun Center have banned it for many years.
