ilovevtac Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Hey Guys, Trying to find some factory 9mm Major ammo to run in my Czechmate and stumbled across these guys. Not a lot of reviews on them, was wondering if anyone ran this ammo specifically through at Czechmate or any other open gun? Here's a link to the ammo, https://moderndefense.com/shop/9mm-124-gr-teklead-nas3-rn-major-pistol/ Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I have run it. I bought 1000 rounds. I ran it at Area 1 and another match so far. It goes bang. No issues. Made power factor.It says it's especially made for the checkmate. So I wouldn't worry there but I used it on a 2011 platform.Let me know if you have any other questions.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love2fishnshoot Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I have some on the way for my czechmate. Assuming I can get the kinks worked out on the gun itself I’ll let you know how it performs with the teklead. Also have Everglades 9 major on the way also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I have been shooting that Everglades as well. Both Everglades and teklead have functioned perfectly for me. I bought a reloading setup and have been using these two brands to get by until I'm ready to start making my own. But Def buy either with confidence. I would say that teklead seems to be out of stock less. However Everglades is the same price and I like that they use their HP projectiles and brass cases better. A few people have expressed concern that the teklead would lead up my comp since it's a coated bullet. But nothing I've seen happening in the first 300 or so rounds I've shot.If you plan to reload I would say the brass cases are worth more to keep. To reload the teklead cases you need special dies.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely need to try out the Everglades now. Now I'm wondering about the lead build up in the comp running the Teklead.... Shouldn't be an issue if I routinely clean it after every range session right? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Ya. I don't think it's a big issue if you clean it. I haven't noticed it building up anyway.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acsr Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 300 rounds isn't going to start shoeing the leading effects, it's deff best practice to run a fully jacketed bullet, but you gotta shoot what's available. Also Atlanta arms ammo is available, any major ammo bought pre loaded isn't cheap though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Everglades and teklead are like $15 for 50. Atlanta is like $33 for 50. So not really a option.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRPOperator Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I have seen, but not tried Blackdot Ammunition. They are also making a major 9mm round that is more affordable tan Atlanta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use CMJ or JHP's and you don't have to clean it, at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 The only reason to use them is that if your not reloading, the price and availability is good.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'd use the Everglades. And, even if you're not reloading, right now, I'd save the brass - you'll be thankful you did, one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Explosiveo Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I 100% agree Jack. I ended up buying that Teklead because Everglades was out of stock and it was a week or two before they were going to be back in stock. From what I could tell they run out of those HP bullets often and so just depends how well you plan ahead I suppose.

love2fishnshoot Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Shot both Everglades and teklead today while out at the farm. Teklead felt just a tad bit softer. Both functioned flawlessly through my czechmate. And both were very accurate. Bought 500 rounds of each and the Everglades came out to be about $30 more after shipping, but it’s also costed HP. Not a big deal. Gonna order black dot ammo next to try since my buddy runs it through her czechmate and 2011s. Side note: did a video test and it seemed like the Everglades kept the dot from jumping. And the teklead definitely threw more smoke out of the comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love2fishnshoot Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Everything was stock. Besides a little work I did on the barrel to chamber and extract the ammo reliably. 6 turns with a 9mm barrel ream fixed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
