    Fiocchi 9mm 124gr. FMJ vs. Federal American Eagle 9mm 124gr. FMJ

    Is one better than the other and does one burn cleaner than the other?

    I have not tried fiocci, but american eagle is consistent and accurate.

    One of the best pistol shooters in the world uses it for competitions when transporting reloads isnt worth it.

    I have no firsthand experience with Fiocchi 124 gr 9mm, but I have had failures to fire (because of light primer hits) with Fiocchi 115 gr 9mm. In all fairness, this was with a competition handgun with a lightened firing pin spring. However, Fiocchi was the only factory ammo that had problems with this spring.

    I prefer AE over Fiocchi. Fiocchi is fine, but I found that it's just dirtier. I haven't had any reliability issues with it though.

    Have used both. I'd buy whichever was less expensive.

    Food for thought: Given catastrophic failure, injury, or other adverse ammo performance event who will provide the best customer service and accountability?

    They're basically equal in my experience...Buy whatever is cheaper.

    I haven't shot a lot of 9mm AE, but I've shot a fair bit of Fiocchi in 115 gr. I got along well with it, and will definitely buy it when the price is right.
