...I can get you some 9mm by 3 o'clock . . . with nail polish.

I was wondering if he was the guy from the Kingdom that tried getting Carol and Morgan to rally Ezekiel. When they showed him going into his hideout, I looked for his boots, and they did a good job of not showing them.
Yeah, there would be thousands of 9mm spent brass lying around everywhere you look, not just in Alexandria. Also, there is no way all the ammo in Alexandria would have been caught and confiscated in the first place. Far too difficult to inventory. You want ammo, I can get you ammo, believe me, hell, I can get you some 9mm by 3 o'clock . . . with nail polish.
That's what I'm saying, just because we saw Negan fire the DE doesn't mean that was the shell casing she picked up. Unless someone can post a hi-ress image of the casing that shows the markings on the rim, that's the story I'm sticking to. There has to be thousands of spent shells all over the place.
Another thing, and anyone that's reloaded before knows this. There is virtually no difference between a factory pressed round and a manually reloaded round except for the fact that the brass might be a little dirty, and everything is dirty 3-4 years into the apocalypse. Negan would not have been able to tell so easily that the 9mm casing was a reload. The whole concept is bunk.

While that's true there would be one dead give away telling Neegan that the round shot at him was a reload and that would be the markings on the bottom of the shell. Assuming that the theory that Rosita's "one bullet" was converted from what Neegan shot out of his Desert Eagle then he would be able to tell because the bottom would say something other than 9mm. But that's assuming it came from the Desert Eagle casing and Neegan actually looked close enough at the bottom to read what caliber it said on it. But yeah, nothing from just a glance and certainly not the crimping, unless he already figured that it came from his used shell casing.
Multiple firing pin imprints on the base of a cartridge is a giveaway of reloaded rounds. Especially noticeable when fired from two different guns, the imprints will likely be in different places or look a bit more mangled than one shot spent cartridge.
Sorry but no, that's not the way it works.
