some swear against any steel cased ammo, I don't think it willhurt a thing in a kahr, ur certainly never going to break a kahr extractgor. If thye price was super right, but a 100 runds and give it a try, if all works as it should go back and stock up. again our wal mart doesn 't sell that ammo or I would certinly give it a try, but if it wasjust a buck cheaper than federal or wwb, I would stay with brass cases. u didn't state what that ammo sells for at wal mart..

It's exactly like the Wolf steel cased ammo. wouldn't surprise me if it was made in the same factory. box colors are the same...hpg

Just my penny and a half worth, not worth 2 cents but there's gotta be some real ammo around you someplace. I use steel in Russian guns as they were designed and I really don't care that much for but I wouldn't shoot it in something I like or plan to carry.

It likely will not harm anything so my thinking is probably weak but I would'nt shoot it myself.

Good deals here. I bought 1000 PMC .380 for 21.8 cents a round plus shipping.

Bought a box of 50 for $10.13 after tax. I'll let you know. Or I'll be asking for help on a fix. Lol

I believe Wolf is made in the tula plant as well as other plants.

I got no issue with it except that I don't reload steel cases...

I bought a Kahr K9 for $350 and got some Monarch ammo in the deal.. it is pretty much the same stuff may even be made in the same plant for all I know. It ran just fine.

The son tried some Tula in his 380 and I seem to recall it ran ok.

Just don't try to shoot 1000 rounds in a sitting and clean it real REAL good after, especially the chamber.

I save Russian ammo for Russian guns, AK's, Makarovs, SKS, etc.

EXCEPT what you gon do when all Wal Mart has is Tula?

"It's all they have at Walmart right now and I want to go shot."

I would for sure spend a few pennies more for brass cased ammo my self because I am saving the cases to reload or sell or give away or melt down and molding something else.

Can I fire steel cases ammo? How is this tulammo. It's all they have at Walmart right now and I want to go shot. Is it safe in are Kahrs?

Tell you what YOU pay for range time I'll bring the ammo! Depending on drive time I might ask you to buy lunch as well... :p

If steel cases were any damn good John M. Browning would have invented them. There's plenty of inexpensive brass case ammo out there that won't damage your gun. Brass is a little more expensive than steel or aluminum, but then you get what you pay for.

I have a ton of Eastern Bloc 7.62x39 to supply my fleet of SKSs. Short of war, I'd never feed it to my Ruger Mini-30.

Same functional philosophy goes for all the rest of my guns.

I fired 50 with a Sig P238 in .380, one of the 50 was a dud. In 9mm, the range sells it for $9.99, other 9 mm ammo is $14.95. I usually order various brands online at around $11/50

I'm one of those that would never use it in any gun I care about, which means I don't ever use it, especially in one of my Kahrs.

Shoots great out of my AK but would make me nervous out of my pistols. I reload everything but the 7.62x39 anyways
