9x19mm, 115gr FMJ, Fiocchi (9AP) Review

[@mandapalque]

Thank you so much for this video and the info provided.

[@AlphaRomeoOneFive]

Just had a case of this delivered last week from SG. Haven't got to try any out yet, but good to know what velocities to expect

[@fromthefuture9353]

This Fiocche ammo has given me trouble in my Taurus Gx4 and G3c by getting stuck in the chamber. All of other ammo was flawless.

[@BuffRANGE]

Good data! Always check JHP ammo in gun for function

[@dahut3614]

Just watched that Sootch00 guy shoot this stuff out of a three inch barrel and wondered what the velocity might be. Thanks for answering my question!

[@BuffRANGE]

That's what I'm here for! Thanks for stopping by

[@louiseferreri1024]

Good review dude. This is the ammo I like. It's pretty hot.

[@no.step.on.snek.2423]

Agreed. Its a handful in my xds .. critical duty+p 135 shoots softer

[@gilliland426]

i have great luck shooting fiocchi ammo... good stuff, but i use the higher grain bullet than 115 grain!

[@BlackSkyMusicTV]

anythinf higher of 120grains for a 9mm is trash

[@threaded4mypleasure818]

Interesting how the beretta gets such lower velocities than you'd think. I was trying to remember where I'd seen this happen the other day. It was on your channel in a previous video probably. I know my old 92 shoots softer than most. This certainly proves something.

[@BuffRANGE]

Yep, and I know the polygonal rifling in the Factory G19 barrel with help with velocity, but even when I used an aftermarket 4.5" barrel with normal rifling it still exceeded the A3's velocities.

[@threaded4mypleasure818]

@@BuffRANGE and I also have a threaded lone wolf on my g19. Not even close to the buttery action of the 92. But hey, I'm a gun hippy. I love them all. Lol

[@docwu2k]

Thanks, Buffman! Good info!

[@markanthonystringfellow3923]

Great Work B!!!

[@Radvous]

I think it's rifling type and depth, polygonal rifled barrels provide higher velocities than traditional rifling

[@cor3ym992]

Just got back from the range, first time shooting this ammo. Purchased 300 rounds of 9mm 124 grain FMJ and only shot 200. Out of the 200, had over 25 misfires. 27 to be exact. Got so annoyed I didn't finish my range session. Every single primer had been struck but didn't fire. Shot from a stock Glock 26 and 19. Needless to say I will not be purchasing this ammo again.

[@BuffRANGE]

Interesting. That sucks

[@buickkkkkk1]

Just got 1000 rounds of this I hope it will make major , I shot up all my cci blazer , blazer always makes major but those are good numbers with the fiocchi...

[@no.step.on.snek.2423]

Shouldnt have no problem in a 4"+ barrel

I dont see how it could.. 143.75 out my 17

Best in what regards ?

[@ernestwwal7111]

Thanks for the information. Ammo is hard to come by these days. I picked some of this ammo up and was curious if they were even worth buying. I hear the ammo is really dirty compared to other brands. Have you noticed while you was cleaning your weapons if they were more dirty than others?

[@BuffRANGE]

I'll be dead honest. I rarely clean these guns I use for range testing. SO I can't comment per say on the cleanliness of ammo.

[@no.step.on.snek.2423]

I can.. you can shoot 500 rounds of this stuff, and itll be cleaner than if you shot 50 rounds of winchester white box ... Its stout for 9mm in my xds.. and i chronoed them at 1210-1250 in my stock glock 17 gen 5, and 1050-1080 out my stock xds mod 2.. 3.3 inch barrel.

[@ryantruong3565]

Poor little ant. scared to death. Give a pair of ear muff. LOL

[@surfsunsand]

Are these for the range for self defense?

[@BuffRANGE]

FMJ would be for practice. Only in self defense if you can't afford JHP, but they will overpenetrate A LOT

[@surfsunsand]

@@BuffRANGE Thank you. I am now to the art of shooting and trying to learn all the different kinds of ammo. The boxes do not make it very clear for newbies. Thank you for your expertise.

[@BuffRANGE]

@@surfsunsand No Problem! for defense you're looking for a "JHP" or "Hollowpoint" depending on barrel length, some weights are better than others. With 9mm, I really prefer 124gr or 147gr JHPs. If the barrel is under 4" I tend to go with the 124gr. Federal HST, or Speer Gold Dot are always too very good performing rounds

[@MUBsMusic]

If someone offered you a free lifetime supply of either the Fiocchi 9mm 115g or Winchester white box 9mm 115g, which would you choose?

[@BuffRANGE]

Fiocchi :D

[@MUBsMusic]

I know I'm late but the winchester won't cycle in my p95 but my fiochi does

[@seanm7553]

Anything but aguila .

[@yezzir1184]

I carry an XD-9 subcompact and usually shoot 115 grain fiocchi FMJ what would be the difference If i upped it to the 124 grain FMJ?

[@BuffRANGE]

Possibly slightly more felt recoil.

[@lukesmith981]

You get more control, but not a big difference. Both similar and feel the same. I’d go for 124 grain NATO rounds for SHTF/Combat.

[@arsenalsam4693]

I have never seen anyone yell out the velocity for each round fired, can someone tell me why this could be important instead of the average from the particular firearm?

[@BuffRANGE]

Sorry it was habit from awhile ago when I wasn’t recording the chrono, and it was a way for me to ensure time had passed for the next shot. My newest videos I don’t.

[@mikehunt4947]

Paul Harrell announces velocity after every shot which I like. If out of 5 shots from say the 115 grain 9mm all you're given is "Avg Velocity 1020" that's only half the story As each shot is fired I listen to the report.. If one sounds quieter, then is that just my hearing or is the velocity less ? If the other rounds sound about the same and record about 1120 fps, and the quiet one records 910, that tells me something: The ammo isn't loaded consistently and THAT will definitely affect accuracy. Keep up the good work, enjoy your videos.

[@DinoTheDinosaurROAR]

What's the difference between the 9mm 115g FMJ and the 9mm 124g FMJTC??

[@BuffRANGE]

This is a "round nose" while the FMJTC is a flat nose tuncated cone. and the 124gr is 9gr heavier :D

[@vaporiiz]

Is this stuff different than the 115g maroon boxes?

[@BuffRANGE]

What's the model # on the box? I would say probably very close to the same.

[@ryanhill5676]

[@jalebjaba1487]

If this shirt stands for Qnon ,he is terribly wrong.

[@susanissajoke]

Explain please.

[@johncopeland3150]

@@susanissajoke Jammed 4 guns that have never jammed ever (well maintained) within first 5 rounds. Cleared each gun, fed a different magazine with different ammo (blazer, american eagle, federal), ran flawless. switched back to Fiocchi, jammed again within 5 rds. 4 guns. I'd never trust my life to this ammo. I don't normally talk crap on people or products but I don't want anyone to have using Fiocchi be the last mistake they ever made.

[@lukesky1998]

What does the AP stand for?

[@BuffRANGE]

As far as I can tell just a model designation.

[@petter5721]

Hate fiocchi, usually poor precision and makes the gun very dirty.
