Monarch Steel Case 9mm FMJ - Good or Bad?

I am just not a fan of steel cased ammo in general so I dont run any of it in any of my guns. I suppose in a shtf scenario, use what you can find, but we arent there yet.
 
I was like you for a long time, Fred. :D But after trying TulAmmo out of curiousity back when it was still dirt cheap and more recently Win USA Forged last month because it was all I could find at that time, I am not as strongly against steel cased ammo as before. They worked fine in my Glock with no issue.

That being said, if I could find brass cased ammo for the same price or even a bit higher now, I would not buy steel cased ammo made in Russia. (FWIW, it was $39.99 for a 200-round value pack.) But it was the only 9mm range grade ammo I could find this week. And I do not reload....
Ive shot 1 box of 9 & 1 of 223, unimpressed, dirty as hell & despite what sme clam, it will add wear to certain parts. I do reload my practice ammo & its far better quality.
 
My g17 ran fine just dirty shooting ammo. Same for the AR woth tula/wolf ammo. Ymmv.
