Anyone have problems with S&B 9mm light primer strikes?

oldmick · Dec 14, 2023

I shoot a lot of WWB (so what do I know) in the 200 round value packs. But earlier this year I bought about 500 rounds of S&B. It’s gone now but don’t recall any issues.

I have shot thousands of my own reloads using S&B small pistol primers, and it did force me to put a heavier striker spring in one of my guns, but that gun is known for having a slightly weaker striker spring from the factory than most guns like it. So short answer is “yes.” I got the primers on sale at Cabelas a few short years ago (but a lifetime ago) for $20 per brick, so you can see why I decided it was worth replacing the striker spring.

Not with an appropriate FP spring, no. They aren't going to run like well-seated Federals, but that would be a completely unrealistic expectation.

My experience with S&B factory 9 has been 100% positive.

thousands of rounds of S&B 9mm and hundreds of rounds of S&B 10mm, never had a light strike with their ammo.
