I have found that the Creed is accurate with about all ammo types, I will admit that the 147 gr did seem a bit more consistent with the hits on my 10" gong than that of fmj.

gotta say that i really like the feel of the Creed. just fits my hand perfectly. got a friend with a "hi end" Kimber.......truth is that at the range, i like the Creed better...

Tulammo uses the same coating as Wolf does, they haven't used lacquer finish in years.

Well since my last post in July I have got now 2,645 rounds through the Creed
Ammo used
Federal Champion 115 Gr aluminum case FMJ
Federal 115 gr brass case FMJ
Speer Gold Dot 147 gr HP
Remington UMC 115 gr RN
Remington 115 gr JHP
Sig Sauer 124 gr JHP
Winchester White box 115 gr RN
Aguila 115-124 gr FMJ
Blazer Brass 115-124 gr FMJ
Tulammo 115 gr FMJ steel case
When I purchased this pistol I had 3,000 rounds of various 9 mm ammo on hand. I am now down to 355 rounds left, just counted after last range session yesterday. 1,000+ of those rounds where fired though a dirty pistol. I usually clean after each range visit but didn't this time.
I shoot about 300-500 round per visit maybe more. I cannot beat those Wal-mart 9 mm ammo prices as of late. Been paying .19-.20 cents a round here as of late, this is brass case & aluminum case ammo.
I have had now 4 stuck cases, all Tulammo steel case 115 gr RN ball ammo. It seems to only stick when the barrel & chamber gets hot, this is 4 out of 250 rounds of steel case that I had.
So far I am very impressed with the Walther Creed pistol. Shoot like a champ will post again after it reaches near the 3,000 + range.
