Gimmick ammo at best. YEARS of LEGITIMATE ballistics research says baloney to this hokum. Penetration is THE KEY not fragmentation as soon as it hits. That is why the Glaser Safety Slug was such a debacle. If you want to get the facts Google is your friend and mentor.


Also the name get a clue. This could make a legitimate shoot suddenly become an issue where none needs to be. For those with two or more living brain cells ask your local PD's what they carry.

Surely local PD carries the ammo supplied by the lowest qualified bidder.

But since shot placement is king, fancy ammmo won't place your shot for you.

This is what comes of liberals demanding that we take the lead out of bullets.

Not all depts. do this. In fact quite a few, including mine don't. They test and only purchase what meets their standards. We buy so much that price can be negotiable in our favor.

Ammo quest does a test on them and candidly the performance was lacking. I will stick with a proven controlled expansion round every time.

Gimmick ammo comes and goes. I stick with the big boys, Remington, Speer, Federal, Hornady and Winchester.

Using that stuff in a defense shooting would be hard to justify in a Civil Case. Like the guys already said. Copy what local LEO use.
