Boy, am I behind the times. First time I've heard of this one.
Thought it might be nice to have a thread dedicated to ammo (handgun, rifle, shotgun) types and selections.
So here is an article I just read.

I have no problem with modern ammo in any of the big 3 defensive rounds. 9mm, 40 or 45.

In all honesty the FBI doesn't know very much about Street level Law Enforcement.

Of all the agencies they are one of the least likely to be involved in a shooting.

That wasn't always the case. We learned a whole lot from the FBI shooting on 4/11/86 in Miami. A tragic and painful lesson though.

YUP, I agree MB. What they should have done is figure that departments have the most officer shootings and then question them about what went right and wrong and then make the determination. The Feds rely on intimidation and reputation mostly and don't really have to "Pull the trigger" as much as their "Studies" would tend to indicate. Just my 2c and I could VERY easily be wrong.

Nothing wrong with Golden Sabres or Gold Dots. Both of those have served us very well in real life usage.

Well I found out where I can get the Federal HST3 +P ammo for about 40 dollars more for 500. Now THAT is supposed to be a good round.
