When the EU was discussing the directive 477 (Eu gun ban) many gun rights group tried to contact Fiocchi, Beretta, Benelli, Pedersoli, Chiappa and all of them either sided with the directive or they didn't even bother replying to emails. After the gun ban passed people started to make groups like "I won't buy Italian guns and ammo ever again" so they got scared and released statements trying to calm people. It doesn't matter what Fiocchi USA or other Italian companies says, they will gladly do the opposite to gain market share.

Never had a problem with this ammo until I bought a Kimber micro 9. Had a batch I purchased (multiple boxes) that had many light primer strikes. These weren't the first shots fired thought the gun, and I was certain I had put about 200 round of S&B through it without problems before. So I chalked it up to maybe those boxes came from the same "batch" from the factory. I had one or two failures every mag. Called Kimber, they told me S&B isn't up to SAAMI specs and that I should use better ammo.... works fine with my Ruger pc9, and p320. But the Kimber micro is a no go.

All the machinery was in well maintained condition ( Loewe, ZB, DWM) and producing in single stages...one machine/one process. Since being acquired by CBC Magtech, the Investment of fresh funds has led to virtually anew, modern, state of the art plant.... The older machinery allowed morev versatility in different calibers...tool changing was easier, but a downside of more manual labour and slower production. Would like to visit again, 30 yearson!!!
