I run the 124 grain in my 9mm's for the range with no problems. Got a good deal on a case at my LGS. I already had 3/4's of a case on hand that was also purchased there but I couldn't pass on the deal they offered so I'm stocked up for awhile. I know some guys at my club whose guns just don't like it but, so far, it's always worked well for me.

Funny you say that I shot their low recoil shot gun slugs before it worked well out of my mossberg but never shot their pistol ammo . I will now just ordered 20 boxes

My autos shoot it fine too. Though "Lower end" autos are notoriously less forgiving and may not. My issue with them was pattern and more accurately, consistent patterning. On my personal list of favorite 00B, they're ranked lower than even some of the Turkish crap.
Also, personally I avoid anything that's advertised as low or reduced recoil.

Pump guns hit a lot harder than autos. When I zero'ed the optic on my KSG25 it took me 11 Truball 1600 slugs. By the time I got to the 6th one I really didn't want to shoot it again. The TS-12 or 1301T I can shoot them all day long.

Fiocchi appears to have brass jacketed bullets instead of copper. Perhaps its just a different alloy, afterall brass is an alloy of copper that might appear more brassish. I've noticed a lot of cheap AMSCOR has brass jacketed bullets as well.
I can't find anything about barrel wear using brass jacketed rounds instead of copper.
I have not shot a lot of Foicchi or AMSCOR, but what little I did, I had no malfunctions or duds.
MV seems to be average, that is one things about Brazer Brass seems to be on the low side, but not enough to through accuracy when I have used it.
Only times I have encountered Duds was 9mm from a unheard of brand that was bottom of the barrel cheap.
Its just the bi-metal bullets, basically copper plated mild steel jacket that most believe will increase wear on a barrel, and there is some evidence behind it, not totally conclusive evidence, and it is evidence of faster wear not ruining the barrel.

BTW, steel on steel has a higher friction co-efficient than copper, I think brass isn't much different. As well, even mild steel is harder than copper. So, bi-metal bullets "could" be a concern for barrel wear, while I don't know for sure, I'd assume brass jackets rounds are less likely to be any problem.
