NDD, are you talking Ammo, or launchers?
I'm shooting Blazer Brass that I laid in back when it was $9.50 a box at Wal Mart for range shit, and I have a couple boxes of Federal HST should I loose my damn mind and carry one of these anachronistic weapons 
Good times,
Blake

Same gun since 1993: Para-Ordnance P14-45
..been eyeing a Sig 220 SAO just to have one. Grew up shooting my uncles 220 and the only thing I didn't like was the DA/SA trigger.

Well TS, I threw another 200 rounds through my TRP Operator so far have had 1 FTF, 5 FTFs with around 500 rounds through it. I think all the carbon build up on the feed ramp might be the culprit on the FTFs. While my H&K 45c continued to eat through 200 rounds with no lube and has 1500 rounds through it.

Amazing !!
I've put 500 rounds of various ammunition through a new Rock Island Armory GI 1911 with zero failures. The cost of the weapon was $429. 
Most of the ammuniton was WWB, PMC, Hydroshock and some Wolf 230 grain.
ETA: I'm using nothing but Wilson Combat mags and one Novak 8 rounder.

I got a Rock Island Armory GI M1911 pistol to start learning with last month and have only put 100 rounds through it with one FTF, but that was probably a fault that can be attributed to my inept hands.
I think it's a great pistol, but to be honest I don't really know what constitutes a great pistol. I'd love to get more practice with it but, unfortunately, ammunition is expensive.

Geez imagine that......... 
Another crappy working 1911 clone. (You do know I cut my teeth on 1911's but I'd NEVER again use one in a fire fight.  )
Thanks for being honest.
