Machined copper?
I'd be surprised if they could reach a price point where people would actually buy them. |

Ill stick to the tried-n-true, thanks though.
Maybe after many, many many many ballistic tests, and if it holds up or actually provides any type of advantage over other rounds, Ill consider. But so far, besides its aggressive appearance, I am not impressed with what I've seen. |

They will act much like Glaser safety slugs. The Glaser safety slug dumps most of it's energy in a few inches and rarely reaches vital organ depth.
This new round has the same qualities, but the tail end stays together to give you the penetration. The last bit that reaches organ depth will be very light in weight, but it's an improvement over the Glaser round. I want some in 45acp and 38 spl if they produce it. |

A shotgun shell makes sense.
Any body seen prices of some of these sabot slugs and 'tactical' shells? Like $5-$6 a shell |

you dont have to buy hundreds of these rounds, you only need probably a box per caliber you have, or 2-3 boxes per caliber...you will NEVER shoot them unless your in danger and protecting your life and your familys life. so the cost isnt that bad. well, i take that back, youll shoot 1 mag at the range to see what it can do and how they work. but thats it.
i cant wait for the 12gauge slugs... i wouldnt need my holesaw kit anymore...

I would run a mixed bag. This crazy new bullet out the pipe first then standerd stuff that is known to work. Also It's best to shoot a few to test that they shoot OK out of your gun. IE If they don't chamber in your pistol, then find something that does...

I carry everyday so I understand wanting reliability, but to assume because you have X amount of rounds through the weapon your less likely to have a problem is ridiculous. 1 round or 5k, no one knows when a failure will occur. To assume any less is putting a false sense of security on the weapon. I understand it making you FEEL more comfortable, but that in no way makes the firearm know a difference. Thats why they invented back up pieces. Until youve experienced a catastrophic failure at a critical time, you wont completely agree. |

Thats why they invented back up pieces. Until youve experienced a catastrophic failure at a critical time, you wont completely agree.  No offense, but thats a ridiculous philosophy.
If I fire 1000 of one type of round (round A) out of a gun with 0 failures, and 1000 of a different round (round B) out of the same gun with 7 failures, you can come to a safe hypothesis. Which round would you choose to have ready at a critical time? I would say out of 1000 rounds, with round A Im seven times less likely to have a failure. Is a failure still possible? Of course. Is it possible to find a round in which it is less likely? Un-arguably possible. Of course the firearm won't know a difference. That responsibility falls on the user. ETA: And this only touches on reliability. Next your going to tell me no round is more accurate than another. That if I "zero" for one round, I've "zero'ed" for all rounds. |

This way if there are criminals in the gun free zone they aren't carrying because it is not allowed. See the gun free zones are working! Plus I can always call the police and I only have to wait 90 minutes for them. I think I will turn in all my guns tomorrow. These laws are working awesome.

I'd buy a box when it's in sig and 40 and 12. You'd never shoot it for fun. You'd shoot it when you need it, for a special occasion, conversation piece. For the money they are worth it. When your defending yourself it's worth the price. Do they have the heads out? Custom sig rounds would be nice...

I'll take a coping saw and a drill bit to a hollow point myself before I would ever throw away $200+ for a box of gimmick bullets. Cut one of your own bullets, shoot it at something then have a beer and pat yourself on the back. Bonus points if you do it while cranking crazy jungle bongo music to get hyped up like a YouTube video.

Im with sardo and edge......except I carry a rape whistle so I can get the attention of someone with a gun to come and help me.
But in all seriousness Matt...I heard that most cops carry an empty mag in their pistol.....they dont like the weight of a loaded mag.....so what ammo do you carry? |
