Update on Monarch 115gr steel

Ran only about ~100 till my battery compartment fell out, my mistake, had one failure to eject on those 100 round at around 70 rounds, no failures to feed, the cartridge primer seem to get stuck in the striker, had to knock out the round, don’t know if this is my striker needing more wearing in, since my gun only has ~500 rounds, or this is a soft primer issue, the rounds did end up shooting sparky, enough where the range master stopped me and asked what I was shooting, like people mentioned before it seemed to run dirty, but in another way, not the way that it covers your gun in powder, but in residue flakes, personally I’m gonna finish this box and go to blazer, the strange sparks, plus failure to eject, and weird residue (not the usual gunk of gun powder, seemed to run more than hot to be able to clear it, but left some other metal like residual when inspected closer seemed to be some dust…), I did choose the “made in Brazil” box and all seemed to check out with it looking like magtech, maybe I’ll give the brass box a shot since it’s now at the same price and seemed to be the same cartridge and primer in marking

Update on monarch steel case

Just got a box of 250 from Brazil after watching a video of the magtechs they look the exact same only difference I can see instead of marked “cbc” in the back it is marked “mon” but the primers have an identical mark than the magtech and the casings and bullet seem the exact same down to the text, I will be giving an update on how they run this coming Monday, I’ll semi clean my gun and run 250 to count failures to feed, and see how dirty it runs in the end, this will all be disclosed… .20c a round at academy!!!!! $54.11 after tax

Range day 1

Gun is mad fun to shoot, it’s a kicker, still gotta improve on my recoil anticipation, couldn’t press the slide release before due to it being to hard, but it’s soften due to cycling and is way easier to press, it’s actually become quiet addicting to rack a round this way letting the slide smack forward, ran about 100-150 round through the new 15 round mag, it works just like the 10 rounders, no issues, ran hollows and fmj to see if any would get caught in the mag, again no problems, anyway anyone have any experience running monarch 115gr fmj steel case at the range specifically for the g43x? Just wanna know how it runs and how’s the wear compared to brass, it’s quiet cheap at academy at .20 a round…

Questions for shipping a firearm to academy

Do they tag on any extra charge when you go pick up the firearm or after paying everything online including the tax I’ll be good?, just curious because they say “firearm handling free” and wanted to know if there was an transfer fee or something like that?

Well she’s done for now…

Gonna go through some rounds down range to see what she’s missing but for now I think I’m done and happy, I wanna keep it as simple and reliable as possible for my edc, 15 round oem, osight se 6 moa green, silver tip Winchester, rapid engineering magwell, and some good old hockey tape opted out from any of the grip tape cuz they were 15+ dollars and thought in 6 months of carrying and shooting I’d wanna get it replaced anyway, apart from that thinking of just running Winchester defensive jhp since that’s one of the cheapest and most reliable for the price they sell stores near me, any tips or recommendations to improve the build are greatly appreciated!

JSESurplus legit

Just ordered a 15 rounder of the site and wanted to know if they were legit? Also if anyone has ordered from them before how fast should I expect my order?
