I've tried a couple of different places online with nothing but back orders.
Do yall know of a reliable source?

There is this thing called Google...

The source.

Well thank you Captain Obvious for saving the day. I tried that first, back ordered 6 months ago.

But........


that is the source, so they should go in stock first Beetle Bailey!

Have you called or emailed for an estimation when it will be in stock?


...(also knowing what caliber you are searching for would have been helpful.)

Years ago, gunsmith Ken Hallock told me one of his customers used to carry Glasers

He said he tried to arrest a felon in a biker jacket.
The shithead wanted to fight instead, so his customer shot the turd with one 45ACP glaser

None of the pellets penetrated the leather jacket, but some deflected up and sprayed the bikers neck and lower chin with tiny holes

At that point the biker-scumbag decided to give up the fight.

On the assumption that you have read the Ammo FAQ and know that Glasers, like all pre-fragmented ammo, are a lousy choice for carry ammo (and stupid-expensive on top of that), I'm guessing that you just want a single example for your collection.
If you aren't picky about caliber, I'm pretty sure I have a couple rounds in the Big Can O' Exemplar Ammo.

They're stupid for sure, but not as stupid as that Magsafe 'Strasbourg goat killing ammo'. That tops all in the stuck on stupid category.

PS, To the original poster, try calling around to some of the smaller local gun shops in your area. I see Glasers from time to time, generally when I go to some of the smaller shops in town. Just yesterday I gave a good neighbor of mine a FNS40, to ease the pain of losing a sidearm,  I broke down and bought a HK USP, but the small shop had a small selection of Glasers and those much feared goat killing Magsafe rounds. The latest greatest farce is that RIP ammo, but imo, people that buy RIP ammo are fools easily separated from their money, just like Magsafes..  

I personally wouldn't purchase Magsafe nor Glaser ammo,  but to each their own. I hope you find them without to much aggravation my friend. But I honestly think some of the small gun shops off the beaten trail are your best bet.  I've been hunting down Speer Gold Dot 2's with no luck.  Kieslers sells to retired Army guys like me, but Gold Dot 2's are a LEO only sale which is a bummer as it's good ammo.

In the end I'll get them but much like your ammo search, not finding exactly what you want can be annoying.

Thanks guys for the helpful suggestions.
I've been following ammo trends for about 23 years. And I'll have to agree, Safety Slugs would be be a poor choice for general carry loads. The reason I'm looking for these specificity is the lower risk of ricochet and over penetration.  It's for a dedicated gun in a specific situation.
My normal carry ammo is Gold Dot +P+ and these will be loaded first in the magazine so if several Safety Slugs can't get the job done at least I won't have to change mags.

Calling around the local fum shops sounds like a good idea.

Thanks again.

You've gone this far; you might as well tell us what situation you're loading a craptastic round for. Pretty please? Yes, we'll likely make fun of you, but please tell us.

I see that people continue to diss the Glaser Safety Slug.

Let me tell you about my personal experience with the Glaser Safety Slug.

Back when the Charter Arms Bulldog was the hot CCW wheelgun rig, I had one of the nice stainless steel versions, with the spurless hammer, and the well shaped, long, but slender synthetic stocks.  The 80s were the age of innocence, possibly even the age of ignorance.  I bought a 6 pack of Glaser Safety Slugs.

It took a few weeks after work, but the family had a barn out back, dating from the horse and buggy era.  Groundhogs abounded in the field next to it, but were difficult to approach.  They never expected an ambush from the barn however.

One spring afternoon, I peered through a knot hole, and not 15 yards away I saw that familiar profile.  I shot around the corner and made one quick double action shot.  Yes, the groundhog fell DRT!  (Not that I was familiar with that acronym at that time).

It made a very large entrance wound, but didn't penetrate.  I decided my  .38 Super was probably the better performer, (125 grain Silvertips were available at that time).

Of course, I also remember that groundhog that I shot with a .357 Mag Keith load.  He jumped up in the air and spun around a couple of times, but hit the ground running and got into his hole.  Excessive expansion works on groundhogs better than excessive penetration.

For anything larger than groundhogs, I would look for some thing besides the Glaser Safety Slug, though it does work well on groundhogs.

groundhogs

If you were local, I know a dealer who trucks outs a plastic bin filled with 10 round blister paks of this stuff in various calibers at every gun show. He has had the same stuff for years and rarely sells ANY of it. When he does it it usually to a cartridge collector.

Well, dammit, how am I supposed to give you shit now? You pissed on the bonfire I was fixin' to light up.    

If you were looking for 32 NAA I could fix you up.   I have a couple of blister packs that have been around forever.

ALL the groundhogs I have encountered for many years now have been so wary you could not get close enough to use a Glasser bn them.

The last one was at many hundreds of yards with a 6 mm Rem AI
I used a laser rangefinder on the trees behind it and subtracted about 20 yards.

The old farmer was watching in the spotting scope and started yelling "You got him.  You got him'" after I turned him into pieces.

Are you looking for 9MM ?...  ( based on your back-up ammo " +P+ GD" comment....)

If so it appears they are available here...http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ShopCart.aspx?sku=73103&qty=1&ReturnUrl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.cheaperthandirt.com%2fproduct%2f73103

Because the frangible ammo debate seems to happen all over again every day?

 

Your basically shooting a .410 with #8.  Not a reliable round.
