I used to like those Glassier Safety Slugs. Read the stories about 1 shot stops. Reduced ricochets, shallow penetration in various media. So I bought some for the missus for her S&W 629 for Home defense.
Took them out in my Ruger Redhawk after 1 year of resting peacefully and fired them into an old waterheater at 35 paces. I had 4 thru and thru,1 dented the far side and 1 splattered on the front. Maybe I had a bad lot, but don't believe every thing you read.

I'll take that under consideration, but I believe SS are only meant for soft targets. That may explain your experience. I'm gonna shoot at some melons in a few months with the SS and regular rounds. I'll post the video.
