I just traded my Glock 30 for a Glock 19 so i could have a gun to both conceal, and also use for the pistol stages of some LR comps. What ammo do you guys recommend to use that is not crazy expensive for comp/training? I am leaning toward the 124gr FMJ I also want to be able to buy it in bulk.

I'd go for the 124 gr. as well, my favorite website for buying bulk is Ammunitiontogo.
I'm sure they have a good selection of 9 there.

The Federal 115 grain bulk packs have always been fine by me. Never an issue, and it is probably the cheapest as well. I buy the 147 grain when I want to play with the suppressors.

Buy the Blaster 9mm. Never had a problem, great price and great customer service. Their brass turn in program is also phenomenal.

The Wolf Polyformance 115 gr steel case in the brown spam can is attractively priced. I haven't had any FTF or FTE yet. Prices range from $169 -$199 /800.

Why avoid Magtech? I have shot 600 rounds of their FMJ SWC in 45ACP without issue. The brass is some of the highest quality I have seen (judging by consistency of flash hole placement and finish).
No issues, but that is only 600 rounds. My handloads are more accurate, sure, but I could say that about American Eagle as well.
I am curious what the issues may be.

I forget the gr weight, but I had it fail to cycle a S&W 3913 that was is perfect working order. Had I actually needed it, I would have been screwed. Once bitten by a brand ...

Magtech blows..I have had multiple issues with magtech amo over various calibers and weapons.
I have been running Federal 147 JHP lately suppressed and un-suppresed quality has been excellent.

Re: Quality 9mm Bulk Ammo??
MagTech does blow, CBC of Brazil is probably the worst major ammo manufacturer I've ever bought from.
My personal experiences range from velocity discrepancies of over 75 FPS to bullets unseating on several calibers due to complete lack of any crimp and misshaped necks.
If you're going to compete, you need veloctiy consistency to make sure that you always qualify for the power factor of the match. An underpressured round can ruin that for you if you are tuning your gun close to the minimum.
Yah sure, the ammo usually goes bang, but it is not QUALITY ammo by any stretch of the definition.

Blazer is made by CCI, it's their entry level brand, like UMC for Remington and American Eagle for Federal.
9mm Blazer comes in both brass and aluminum casings, the aluminum stuff can be bought ridiculously cheap sometimes.
It's good stuff, the brass loadings are definitely equivalent to the other major American brands. The aluminum isn't popular except for people who are cheap but have heard steel case horror stories.
