OnnaBugeisha Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Gen 5 G34. The only upgrades I’ve done are Talon grips and Dawson sights. Using for GSSF indoor this winter and entry/low level steel challenge this summer. Assuming for the moment that I’m not changing springs, trigger, or anything else.... What is everybody’s favorite, soft-shooting factory ammo? (Right now I’m shooting Blazer 124 gr. because that’s what I was able to buy, but it’s pretty hot....) THANKS!!!

CharlieD Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 The 147 Blazer I had was pretty hot, not a fan. I would look at companies that sell reloaded ammo such as Precision Delta, NC Shooters, or Peak Performance. If you truly want factory then Federal Syntech in 150g or even the 130g PCC stuff. Not sure you can be too picky right now though, buy what you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhw980 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I’ve had great luck out of SuperVel 147 gr. It’s factory remanufactured for competition. Right now the only way to get it is to send them primers directly. But it’s well worth it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that Blazer 124 wasn’t my fave, but it was what I could find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvDog Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Federal Syntech 150... you can order directly from their site. Other sites carry it as well, but inventory has been spotty. Also Speer Lawman 147 shoots ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Atlanta Arms 147gn., remanufactured or new (pricier), has been always been a softball load in my pistols. https://atlantaarms.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I have seen too many failures to eject mild 147s from Glocks around here. A couple of us have gone to 124s, others cheaping it out with 115s. If yours does, try the slowest 124 you can find. Atlanta has a 124 at 1060 that will be a lot softer than snappy 115 gr econoball.

JBP55 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I have shot tens of thousands of 124gr. and 147gr. American Eagle with Zero issues in any of my pistols. More than 52, 000 flawless rounds from a Gen 4 G17 before going all Gen 5 Glocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horhey232 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I really enjoy shooting S&B 124 grn. Getting tough to find though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malarky112 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Syntech is really the only softer shooting factory ammo that I am aware of. There are other smaller companies making low power loads. You may have to change your recoil spring, not sure whats allowed in GSSF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
