Sota 1,191 Posted July 5, 2023 Prices are slowly coming down. I predict around the $200 shipped mark we'll have another "mass shooting" that causes bumblefuck to scream into his ice cream about more gun control. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ESB 247 Posted July 6, 2023 I've gone through several thousand of the ZSR and the problem is the gold colored coating. It flakes off and gets everywhere when you shoot it. Makes the gun very dirty and hard to clean. I was getting light strikes on my Glock. The flakes had gotten in where the firing pin was and gunked it all up. I switched to New Republic from Target Sports. No gold colored plating just copper jacket and its $10 cheaper per 1000. $235 shipped.

JohnnyB 4,326 Posted July 6, 2023 I still think that those specks are unburned powder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redeye65 162 Posted July 8, 2023 The new republic is nice stuff, so far no failures and I have gone through 1k of 9mm, 500 rounds of .45, some .357 and a few boxes of .380. Sent TSUSA an email asking if any plans to produce 7.62x39 and reply was, it’s in the works. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
