I'm wondering if steel casings are bad for a 1911. I know that an AK-47 will eat up steel casings all day long, but steel casings are bad for, and can be hard on an AR-15. I only have brass for my AR and that will never change. I'm curious as to how a 1911 fairs with steel casings. Is it bad for the gun or does it not matter? I'm asking because steel cased rounds seem to be the only readily available ammo these days. Thanks
This better placed in the hunting section of sports. That is the area for gun questions. I've never used that Russian stuff in my guns. I would stick with brass or Aluminum Blaser ammo.
steel casings go back to the early 1900's for 1911's. Most guns were always able to handle them and most of that has carried on. I would think glocks are a no no for steel for longevity but in the caribbean we have mainly steel casings and that's all we use. the 1911 is probably the most popular hand gun down there. I own one, and FM. Over 1000 rounds so far in her between me and my dad (previous owner)
