Video Transcript:
Fiocchi Ammo was established in Italy in 1872, and they make a wide range of ammo for practice, hunting, and for various military forces.
The pistol ammo we tested features a reloadable brass case, non-corrosive primer, and full metal jacket bullet with a lead core.
For this review, we shot a couple of boxes of Fiocchi 170 grain in .40 Smith & Wesson. Accuracy was good and all rounds hit close to point of aim at 15 yards from a bench rest. The Fiocchi ammo seemed to perform like any other brass-cased ammo, but then we had some malfunctions in a couple of our test guns. Both our Smith & Wesson M&P and Ruger SR40 had failures to feed. There were no other problems in any of our other test guns, so it's hard to say what exactly was going on.
As a company, Fiocchi Ammo has a longstanding reputation and a few awards under their belt. And besides the reliability issues, Fiocchi seemed to be high-quality ammo. It was not excessively dirty. The cases were high-quality brass. If you don't mind the possibility of maybe having to practice a few malfunction drills, then Fiocchi ammo in .40 Smith & Wesson is not a bad overall choice.

I bought a case of this for a class I was taking that required "factory" ammo in 50rd boxes. I have shot a lot of Fiocchi in the past and was not dissapointed. We shot hard for 4 days and I did not have a lot of time for gun cleaning in between yet I had no fail to feeds and no mis fires. As always price was great from LG.
