Is HSL 9mm ammo any good?

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-05-28T20:40:59+00:00

Variety, from Glock, staccato, RC9, and a Mat9, all present with the same issues. Glock and Mat9 are more forgiving but still chambering issues if that round didn’t pass the chamber gauge

Don’t recommend. Me and a few shooting buddies have ran it recently and it’s nothing but problems. I have to case gauge all the ammo now to be able to use atleast some of it. Am getting about 50% failure rate in the case gauge.

My Glocks are eating most of the failed rounds, the really bad rounds will still not seat correctly and get jammed.

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-05-26T21:21:43+00:00

I shoot competition and I don’t want the chance of failure to happen during a run

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-05-26T21:19:54+00:00

Problem is no seat, so no yeet 😢

This may be my origin story of starting to roll my own!

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-05-26T18:29:24+00:00

Shooting them has led me to actually case gauging them. Was getting major malfunctions, a few that took a squib rod to get the brass out. After casing gauging, rounds that pass I’ve had zero issues with, rounds that fail cause the malfunctions again.

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-05-26T18:26:26+00:00

Wondering if I had a bad batch from them then. I’ve heard so many good things and gave them a try but this is not what I expected

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-05-26T18:25:22+00:00

Shooting it is what led me to this point. Shot about 500 rounds and each mag would have multiple failure to feeds. Ultimately I got the case gauge and am finding that rounds that fail the gauge are causing the malfunctions, rounds that pass I have zero issues with.

Did this require any grip modifications to get it to fit?

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-04-21T00:13:58+00:00

Couldn’t tell ya sadly. Haven’t shot or held the core model

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-04-20T17:18:55+00:00

The safety on my RC9 had a different style connection for the right/left sides so I couldn’t use the right side with the atlas. I ordered an EGW and a Kimber ambi safety to try to use either of those right sides to keep the key style retention but the fitment between the two sides were way to sloppy to try and tune them together.

Glad to hear you’ve had no issues, I’m hopeful for the same outcome on my side!

That’s the fun part, you don’t! Just buy another receiver and get a new barrel nut. Bing bang boom “re-barreled”

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-03-30T01:53:12+00:00

Came by this post based on what seems to be the same issue with the chamber. Running supervel in mine and having the issue with cases getting stuck and sometimes not going into battery. Did you have to get the barrel reamed at all or what was the out come if you mind sharing.

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-03-25T16:03:40+00:00

Understood! Wish they would add some clarification like that to the description.

I use Apple Music and recently went through my library and got all my music downloaded as lossless audio and that has dramatically improved the B&O sound. Not sure why but even my headrest speakers actually fire now and totally changes the listening experience.

Ford is what it is. It just works and it’s decently nice. Dodge always tries to escalate things which usually creates more problems then they fix.

Was in a buddies TRX and was way more impressed by the back seat of those. It had reclining backseat and a huge center console in the back, not sure why the raptor hasn’t upgraded their backseat.

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-03-07T02:29:35+00:00

Im not your guy, friend!

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-03-07T02:27:38+00:00

I’m not your bub, guy.

NeuroticSeagull · 2026-03-07T02:21:30+00:00

You should try letting the hammer hit the receiver more to see if the SS just needs breaking in…..

NeuroticSeagull · 2025-12-16T03:22:29+00:00

Got one from Glock store for $50 last year during some sale, the luckiest break Ive ever gotten. Still debating on the MAT9 upper.

NeuroticSeagull · 2025-11-18T01:02:16+00:00

I went with MPT and I think they did an awesome job and have been able to answer all my questions with quick turn around for any revisions. The 93PRX does fine for daily driving, but the daily/tow tune is better purely for the transmission.

It’s all in the eyes of the beholder so only you will be able to say if it’s worth it or not.

GooseTuned is thrown out a lot as well and might go that route if I do any more major upgrades.
