"No, he's talking about armor-piercing bullets that are typically teflon coated."

No. The ban on Armor Piercing Handgun Ammunition had nothing to do with teflon coatings. It relates the bullet core materials such as iron, steel, brass, etc.

The terminology "Cop Killer Bullets" has no legal or technical meaning by any group with recognized standing. It is politically fabricated terminology used for emotional impact.

IIRC there used to be something called an arcane round. It was made of steel and the tip was shaped like an isoceles triangle. That was supposedly designed for vest penetration. I saw just one article on them many years ago. Never heard about them again.

I wonder if it applies to this. No special armor-piercing ability with standard ammo (although FP is available to LE), but as a small-caliber pistol it does pretty well at penetrating vests. Notice the sharp, pointy, non-expanding bullets.

It would definitely go bye-bye due to the 20-round magazine though.
