Looks like it would do a job on the wallet.
Obama will call them "cop killers" and ban them.
Gimmick. Screws up penetration you might need. A 96 grain 9mm.
Correct. I’ve seen the demo shots on youtube and was not impressed. Now the .45 ACP Winchester Ranger 230gr. JHP (which is a Black Talon with a new name) - THAT is an impressive round. The 124gr. 9mm JHP Ranger is no slouch either.
The size of the dispersal area could be problematic. How extensive? There would seem to be a likelihood of the shards dispersing to unintended peripheral locations.
Expensive and designed the person who is insecure in his abilities.
I wouldn’t buy them. No telling what a prosecuting attorney would tell a jury. On the other hand, as far as penetration, a cement block didn’t stop them.
Copper?
Copper shards without extraction will create copper salts in the blood stream. Copper rounds used to be considered poisonous and banned by international treaty.
Gun places have had a field day with how buggy this bullet has proven to be lately. Glock people have had a lot of trouble with it. Sorry, don’t trust it to have as an everyday carry to defend my family.
Excellent point. An anti gun attorney or DA would have a field day proving you set ou to kill with these gimmik rounds. I forgot where I got the advice but I heard it is best to use the same rounds the local police forces use. Then the DA can’t claim you’re using some extra lethal round.
Not enough penetration for me.
If you want a shot gun, buy a shot gun don’t try to use a gimmick bullet in a regular non shot gun type gun.
Gimmick. Each round produced on a CNC means they will be super expensive.
I saw a box of these at a gun show...$200.00 for box of 20 !! Lots of luck if you had to shoot someone with one of these.... the prosecutor would have orgasms while he described the eeeeeviiilll megadeath dealing vaporizer of poor little bunny rabbits and poor yutes who were turning their life around while passing out free food to illegal aliens and women waiting in line for their free abortion. Like others I think there will be penetration problems and lack of energy transfer. Perhaps if you showed the perpetrator the bullet, it would scare them to death.
Screw this $4/rd garbage. Use Federal HST or Winchester Ranger in the heaviest weight your pistol will shoot accurately.
Wow!!!
The sharp points on the round seem like they would be more likely to catch on things, mags, feed ramps, etc.
Yep.
9mm G2 RIP R.I.P. vs Gold Dot, tested through Ribs and Chickens
