Personally, I'd spend a little more and get some Federal Independence.

39$ more per/1000 ????
I haven't noticed any difference, but then again, I'm not a very good shot with a handgun.
I'd rather have the Wolf, it's cheaper.
They're both Russian made ammo, probably made from the same exact components, possibly even on the same line. They're both dirty, might have a bad round or two in the case, but typically work as they should.
If you ever plan on reloading go brass.

Practically the same stuff.
Ive shot alot of wolf, and quite a bit of Brown Bear.
They look nearly identical, shoot the same and they're both dirty.
As long as were talking range/practice, and you don't mind a thorough cleaning after a day of shooting, you can't go wrong either way.
So between the two go wolf and save the $, maybe use it to get another 50 rds later on.

For $180 shipped? I'd say go with Blazer Aluminum, works like a champ and is not near as dirty as the Wolf, Brown Bear stuff (which I shoot in my 223 and like cuz it's cheap).

I'd much rather have CCI than Brown or Wolf.

only thing about blazer (and i do shoot it alot) in comparison to wolf is this last range trip i nearly chambered a round that had a extra peice if you will on the tip of the bullet pretty much left over casting that did nt get removed all the way when the bullet was formed i know xd's are tough but id rather not scrape the s**t out of the feed ramp.. so enjoy the rounds but check them as you load them i got caught up in the fact i had not got to go shooting in months and wasnt paying proper attention when i loaded the mag thank goodness i caught it before putting the mag in and chambering. to be fair this is the only occurance of this i've had with blazer brass in the thousands of rnds i've shot of it in multiple calibers. only experience with brown bear was 7.62x39's for am sks i had no difference between that an wolf decent range shooting but just as dirty as wolf or blazer

Good deal! I too placed an order for 1,000 tonight, have to stock up some more too before prices get out of hand or ammo just gets banned outright. lolThanks for the link and information. I just purchased 1000 rounds.

No joke. No telling what will happen if Osama gets elected...
CCI is the way to go...I bought 1000 rds of Independence from NW Shooter supply and when I run out of that I'm going to raid my local walmart for the Blazer which will only be $270 per 1000 for my .40...thank yourself you bought a 9mm and not the .40 or .45 for that matter....

+1 on the Blazer. It's cheap and functions great.
As a side note, don't forget the big game this weekend. Wreck 'em Tech!
