Swiss pistol ammunition

Featured Replies

Hi everyone.

 

Do people here know anything about ammunition from RWS or Geco? I've been reading some interesting stuff about it over at the Sig forum, and found this video on youtube:

Has anyone seen it anywhere, or shot it?

 

I'm looking for something other than WWB - something a bit flatter - for USPSA.

 

Many thanks and happy shooting

Ammo to go has Gecco, for $9.89/bx. I bought a few a couple weeks ago, Haven't shot yet

I bought some from Sportsman's Guide last year when it was on sale. Some shooter's say it's a very hot load. From what I remember, it shot fine. I saw the Ammo to Go sale also, and will probably order some for my CZ 75B.

I bought some RWS at a wally world in WV last year, $10 a box IRC. It was great, clean accurate and reliable.

 

RWS has been around a long time, they make some great shotgun shells also. buy and use with confidence.

I've shot about 500 rounds of the 124gr Geco and was VERY happy with it. Really good ammo IMHO and when it goes for under 10 a box it's a bargain.

OK - ordered some of the RWS and the GECO - will keep you posted on how it does.

 

thanks everyone!

I'm working through 1000 rds of the Geco 9mm. It's good stuff. I've never shot the RWS, but hear it is good.

Geco arriving tomorrow from AmmoToGo (great service there) and the RWS is shipping from WeaponsWorld, following emailing of the FPID card pic - expecting delivery early next week. The chap at WeaponsWorld said specifically that they are the same. I'll keep you all posted as to what they shoot like from my sigs.

 

Best

Many people order from the AKforum and AR15.com

Good guy!!

 

 

I've never heard of this company before, anyone ever order from them?

 

Ammo to go has a May 4 delivery date with $19 shipping on 10 boxes.

OK - the GECO:

 

It shoots very clean and cycles/feeds my 229 very well. I shot 90 rounds today and was surprised how clean the insides of the cases were and how little soot there was n the slide and on the feed ramp/locking plate/rails. Very happy.

 

The rounds hemselves are "snappy"; there is definitely less recoil than with the WWB 115gr I'm used to. The round is accurate and I'm very happy with it. Recommended. From AmmoToGo, it cost 22.4 c per, which works out the same as WWB from WalMart, not counting the fact you have to drive to PA to get it.

 

I'm looking forward to trying the RWS...

 

happy shooting

G

I was wondering where the GECO empty cases came from. I was tossing them as I did not know the brand. I wil try to remember how they reload.

So.... So far, over a week after receiving a receipt from WeaponsWorld for the RWS order, still no notification of shipping. Hmph.

SOOOOO - these WW people seem to be either overwhelmed or selling stuff they don't actually hav ein stock, or just inefficient. I spoke on Monday, was told it had "probably shipped on Friday.. we're a little behind on getting the tracking numbers out (yeah, right)". So far, nothing. I think it'a a one-man operation and I wish them well, but I'm not too happy right now. It'd be hard to recommend them on the basis of this single order.

Hope this place isn't like the tmjtrading.com "ammo deal gone bad" episode last year:

Final post on this topic:

 

I shot them both side by side today and cannot tell the difference. So, I'd recommend either/both to anyone.

 

Happy shooting

G

I used a $10 membership coupon and bought 5 boxes of this brand from Sportsmans Guide. CZ 75B loves this stuff. The cases look like they'll reload nicely also.
