Has anyone used Blazer? I heard some bad things about it but picked up a box of S&W .40 because is was the only thing they had. If my gun is going to blow apart because it is junk, then I'll just save it to use as a last resort.

I've put at least 10,000 rounds of Blazer through my Glock 23 with no problems whatsoever. Shoot away.Has anyone used Blazer?

Personally i try to only get the blazer brass, i haven't ever had a problem with them. I steer clear of blazer aluminum, just a personal thing i don't like the idea.
I've used the .45 blazer aluminum in my Ruger P345, unless the gun is super clean, they give me problems, about one in 8 will fail to feed or eject properly, but the blazer brass I've never had a problem with. I have half a box of aluminum that I just won't shoot unless I'm out of everything else and the zombies are coming for me.
I thought all "blazer" was aluminum???
Blazer Brass is boxer primed, reloadable brass.
Blazer (standard) is aluminum.
I've rarely had problems with it, but my M&P9 does not like the stuff. It ejects it at 12 o'clock low.

I think the plain ol' Blazer suck. I'm basing my opinion on two boxes of 180 grain .40 S&W. They feel like they are loaded hotter than a lot of duty rounds that I have fired and I find my accuracy suffered. Other people at the range were asking what I was shotting because they were loud. Blazer Brass however I like. Blazer Brass are only $1 more (per 50 rounds), are re-loadable and to me, seem to have the same recoil in line with 180 grain duty rounds from Federal or Speer.
