Frangible 9mm on an indoor range

[Charlotte the flyer]

Would these be OK to use in an indoor range where FMJ is not allowed? I don't want to reload 9mm so at the moment my LR9 is a bit of a cab queen.

you need to ask the range officers, and if its an SGC LR then I suspect Bob would have something to say about the warranty implications tongueout

I'll speak to them when I next go to the range.

I'm the second owner so the warranty won't apply anyway. I just wondered if they'd disintigrate in the barrel of a rifle as I'd imagine they are meant primarily for pistols.

I'm just too lazy/nervous/unskilled (delete as applicable) to load my own lead.

It says suitable for automatic fire in the link, so I'm guessing it's designed for SMGs.

Provisionally, no. Not because of how your gun might cope, but because of range certification.

Yes could be the answer provided that the question was posed and answered. It sounds like something that could quite reasonably be permitted, but range safety advice is written so that everything is prohibited except that which the advice permits. If you are outside the terms of your range safety advice your safety certificate, and thus your insurance, will likely be invalid.

So, if you want to do it, ask the question, get (in all probability) the answer you want, update the range safety cert, and you are in business.

Many thanks for the advice Iain, I'll check with TPTB on Friday. I'll let you know how I get on in case anyone else is thinking about using them.

Iain,

I was under the impression that Range safety certificates have not been issued to civilian ranges for some years?
