Jack Spade Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 With the shortage of components we are going through right now it is shoot what you can get even though it may not be what you normally use. I have seen the Ginex primers from one of my sources for very reasonable prices but you have to buy 10k minimum. I didn't want to buy that many if I didn't know how they would work. I was at a local gun show over the weekend and one vendor had the Ginex small pistol primers so I bought some to try out. I loaded 100 rounds with my standard 38 special load of 3.0 grains of Clays and a 110 gr tcfp bullet. My pistols are Ruger Vaqueros that are short stroked and light sprung. My rifle is a Uberti 1873 that is also short stroked and light sprung and is very picky about primers. Will only shoot federals reliably. I ran 40 rounds through my pistols and had no problems. All fired, no primers backed out, worked great. Fired 60 rounds through my rifle, again, no problems or fail to fire. So in conclusion if you come across Ginex primers don't hesitate to buy them!

Captain Bill Burt Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 That's good to know! I wonder if anyone has tried the Servicios y Adventuras primers. They seem to be easily obtainable and are going for $855 for 10,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 These might fill the void of S&B primers that aren’t imported anymore. S&B were great primers and a bit cheaper than Winchester and a lot cheaper than Federal, but those were the old days and I doubt we’ll ever see primers at those prices again.

Nickel City Dude Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I went looking for some Unis Ginex SPP to a site called Trifusion they did not have the unis but did say that they had some Muron SPP. It looks like they only take cripto currency so I think I will pass on sending any money to them. This site has all the earmarks for a Scam.

Ranger Dan Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I have been using Ginex primers in my auto pistols (9mm and 45acp) so SPP and LPP for the last couple months. Have worked very well. I have been able to get enough Federals, so not needed to use them in my cowboy guns yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what primers you looked at but it says right on the package (picture below) non-corrosive, non-mercuric, contains no ingredients that will rust your barrel. As for the high fail to fire rate I posted my results in the first post. I bought 1000 so I will continue to test in my practice ammo and report back. I bought these from Georgia Arms and they had cases of them on the table. I have seen them much cheaper from online sources but you were required to buy large quantities.

Our club supported the "Girl with a Gun" event last year (500 lady shooters in multiple disciplines). Since we all followed the "my gun, my ammo" philosophy in our cowboy guns, the event organizers gave us a bunch of these primers for our efforts. Tried some in 9mm glock and all went bang. 0 FTF and no more dirty than the federals I usually use. still have about 600 and if needed would use without reservation.

Jack Spade Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 I did a little looking on the internet and any complaints I found about these primers are from 2015 and older. I started seeing reviews of them starting again in 2019 and newer and no newer reviews said anything about any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
