    Trouble with Dominion 9mm ammunition?

    Anyone else having trouble with out of spec Dominion 9mm?
    First - I've had two squibb loads.

    Second - I'm having one or two PER MAGAZINE fail to chamber. Bullet gets stuck in the barrel, and I have to press the front of the slide on a piece of 2x4 to get the case to eject from the chamber. Last time, the bullet got stuck in the barrel when the brass ejected, and I got powder all inside my gun everywhere.

    I've only fired 75 rounds out of my 1000 round box.
    I don't feel confident that things are going to get much better the more I shoot.

    I've now replicated the failure to chamber problem in three guns. Glock 19, SD9VE and CZ SP-01 Tactical. Very disappointed with this ammunition.

    How long since you bought that batch of ammos? I know they had problems early on, the first batch I bought from them had a bunch of out of specs like yours, but they sent me a hundred extra to make up for it, and I had no problem with my 2nd batch of ammos.

    I've used about 20 000 rounds of the Canada Ammo Dominon 9mm.

    They have been used in 2 CZ Shadow 2 pistols, Beretta 92 and 2 Beretta CX4 carbines.

    I've had a couple of squibs and a couple of dud primers and a few that won't chamber. The failure rate is actually not that different from any bulk ammo, whether reloaded or factory fresh. So only about 20 in 20 thousand were defective. I can live with that

    So it's been great ammo for me, especially as the price is very attractive. But if you are having 20% not able to chamber in several different firearms there was probably a glitch in the system when your batch was getting loaded.

    Yea man. Interesting to see I'm not the only one having issues.
    I live very close to my range, so I went again this evening for the second time today.
    Same problem. One round per magazine will not chamber, and drives itself into the barrel such that I cannot extract it without using a 2x4 of wood to press against. I've never had this experience with any other ammunition, honestly. One per magazine is just too much.

    The case of Dominion 9mm i bought was absolute trash. 1 or 2 duds per mag at least. I use the ammo to practice malfunctions because it....malfunctions. Never again.

    Is Dominion Ammo ,factory or CanAm's Commercial Reloaded house ammo? I bought 2000 of their reloads and have had no issues so far, even in matches.

    I just burned through 1000 rounds of the same Dominion Commercial Reload as " Still alive " mentioned above with not one single issue. Even when practicing rapid fire double taps. Canik TP9sa , Walther PPK and Beretta CX-4.
    Protection ain't a sin !
