Welcome to the forum.

 

As for major PF open gun ammo, that is going to depend on what caliber...I'm pretty sure you aren't going to find 9mm or 38super/SC major on any normal store shelves. Probably 95% or more of open shooters load their own.

There are plenty of options, everglades, black dot, atlanta arms all sell factory 9 major, but seemed easier and cheaper to load your own, plus you can tune the load to your setup

Not all off the shelf open will make major in your gun as well. Everglades did not. I haven’t tried the others

So reloading is best then. Will have to shell out to buy

Agreed. But I need to recover from.the cost of the open gun. So will have to settle for now on the factory stuff
