Ginex primers

[Ganderite]

Campro is importing GINEX primers. I bought 15,000 of them and today I ran a test to see how sensitive they are.

I have 2 9mm pistols that have weak striker springs and misfire badly. When I tested the worst one with Tula primers, 8 of 10 misfired.

So I took that one to the rnage, along with a Smith M60 DAO that tends to misfire. It is very smooth, but I suspect the hammer spring has been lightened. I intend to replace that spring.

9mm Test Results

Remington 3 misfires

Federal 0

CCI 1

Ginex 1

S&B 6

Fiocci 2


38 SPl Test (M60 DAO)

GINEX 1 misfire

Federal 0


Conclusion: If you have been successfully using any primer (other than Federal) these will go bang in your gun.

Thanks for doing this.

I have a variety of primers including the Ginex and S&B so will have to be careful what I use them in. Only have one gun that I bought Federal primers for specifically but one or two others that have the rare misfire.
