If any of you have some or are considering getting some of the Triton Quick-Shock ammo(I got a box from Sportsman's Guide), do not shoot it in your R9. It is not marked +P but I could tell by the recoil that it definately is.

Thanks for the warning, Mike.

Once again, The riffraff is right on cue! The old Triton quickshoks were +Ps HOT ONES! and were labled as such! Seems Triton forgot this time around but Im glad to see them back! Goodluck TRITON! heres hoping you'll stay "economicly viable" this go around!
Quickshoks are a great bullet! Ive had nothing but good expieriances with them but they have no place in the PUP!

riff,
I shot a few rounds of .40 S&W Triton Quick-Shock and noticed they had tremendous muzzle flash.
They were so bad that I wrote to Triton complaining that they were a terrible choice for defense loads. I eventually got a note back from Triton saying they had reformulated the powder for less flash.
That was my last experiment with "off brand" ammo.

Triton is back? Cool beans! What's their website?
Besides their QUICK-SHOCK line, they had another line which wasn't +P but it's name escapes me.

sslater,
I did not notice a muzzle flash when I fired the 9mm's in the R9 but it was daylight although it was under a cover. I just felt the recoil which was sharper than all the other rounds I was shooting that day.

Hello, Isn't Quik-Shock made by A-merc? If it is I don't think I would touch it. I accidentally bought 2000 rds. of 9mm. A-merc 115 gr. fmj. I thought it was Bosnian Hot-Shot ammo, which is very good, but A-merc must have bought The hot-shot name and repackaged their ammo under the Hot-shot name. I had all sorts of problems with them.......primers falling out.......bullets seated improperly, failures to eject due to the rims of the brass being to thin. I even had one that had so little powder in it, the bullet literally fell out of the barrel. I thank god it did at least fall out of the barrel.....or it could have been really ugly. Now in fairness, when it did fire it was very accurate......but the failures were enough, I didn't even want to use them at the range, I was glad to get rid of it. I swore off a-merc after that. Just my experience, but I would have no confidence in Triton, and there are enough premium ammos out there that I do like, I have not even wanted to try it.
Take care, Mike Arnold

If the new Triton is the same as the old Triton, it's high quality ammo with very good QC, based on my own experience.
