9mm Tracers.....Buyer Beware
Testing 9mm tracers that I purchased from a vendor at the Knob Creek Gun Show, October 2010. This stuff is pricey per round, so you would hope that it works. It can to some degree, but there are caveats to the process. This video could save you a few bucks, and some headaches. In addition to what is discussed in the video, this ammo is HOT. I would say it is equal to or exceeds +P+ pressures, based on my experience. That alone may discourage use in your firearm, regardless of your opinion on the video's conclusion. The packaging shown is generic and was probably marketed in this manner by the vendor or a distributor. Using the description provided in the video, you can locate photos of this ammo online in the original packaging. At the time of this video upload, I noticed this specific ammo with matching headstamp markings was being sold on www.gunbroker.com and other venues. If these work in your gun, great. You might also search online for SBR tracers; I've seen them on Midway USA and other sites. There are several videos on YouTube of 9mm tracers, so either this Israeli ammo works in their guns, or they are using another brand of ammo. You may also have some success with various 9mm semi-auto carbines. SAFETY NOTE: When shooting tracers of any caliber, try to do so with optimum ground conditions if possible to avoid setting a fire. The tracer compound can ignite dry brush in an instant....it has happened.
