Fired quite a bit of their stuff in other calibers. quality was good, real good. No experience with their 5.56/.223 though

My thoughts exactly. I've seen Fiocchi blow up a Glock 21 and a few other guns so I make it a Point to stay away from it.

3 glocks, 1 AR, and 1 1911. the 1911, the guy tryed loading his own rounds and over charged it.

I think what johnsopi meant was how many Glocks have you seen get blown up with Fiocchi ammo.

Since you say that the 1911 was killed due to a bad handload, you can eliminate that gun.

That's a lot. I saw a guy get hit with lead from fool who shot the floor of the range once. He was very upset. This time of the year we get all kinds at the range.

I am not saying it is not possible , but I have never heard of a KABOOM problem with Fiocchi Ammo. High quality stuff all of it that I have owned.
