Ammo ID

Anyone know anything about this ammo?

It's Fiocchi 9mm, nato cross & has some kind of weird aqua colored primer sealant. I'm wondering whether it's safe to shoot out of my P6's & P228.

Just make sure that blue green color is sealant not copper corrosion.

I'd enjoy firing that ammo in my P6. The intarw3bz don't link Sigs and kaBOOMs. I tried Bing and Dogpile and I doubt that there is a Sig kaBOOM coverup conspiracy. Have fun!

Yeah, the pressure allowed for a 9mm NATO round is slightly higher than 9mm Luger, but not as high as 9mm +P. Guns which are nitro proofed should be safe to fire +P and below.

My P6 bears the "nitro proof eagle."

Michael - The box these came in says +P+, but I'm thinking that the Nato proof actually means something, so maybe it's not +P+

Guess We'll find out next time I hit the range.
