hi, actually the "surgeons myth" was started by docs who were far left politically i.e. JAMA. The Talon was designed to primarily slice arteries and nerve tissue. Docs have tons of sharp things in operating theatres, they are called scapels, sutures, needles. The whole anti ammo frenzy really got kicked off by that idiot w/ the ruger 9mm and talons shooting those people on train in NYC. Actually Talons did not do so well in the strasbourg tests. also we have much better ammo now.

@weaponseducation Thats why i bought them.

Great video...I was in my twenties when this was all going on, It made me sick how NBC and the gun grabbing media lied about all this . This was the reason why I am a life member of the NRA....To this day I get totally irretated when the media lies about the black rifle and anything else trying to control guns from legal people !!! Hell Hillary Clinton is even passing gun laws for outer space....now tell me how obsessed she is!!!

another factor that fueled the negative hype of the black talons was the fact that they were instantly recognizable as a winchester product. the effect of having a round instantly traceable back to the brand, is clearly bad for business. this made winchester look culpable in for murders in the medias eyes. You are right about the media vilifying these rounds. This pressure eventually led winchester to pull the round.

I heard black talon will spin so fast and open up so wide that it will open a portal to another dimension sucking in all who are within a 15 ft radius. Thats what I heard.

i got a nice little stash of 9mm black talons :) I don't shoot them, I just enjoy having that small piece of history

@weaponseducation But they lack the evil black paint that makes them super evil!

I have recently purchased 4 boxes of original BT ammo
@ Gunbroker. No FTF's yet. Great suff.
Winchester simply stopped producing it due to hype.
No where is it illegal to own or use,
Umm, that's why they still make it- ya think?
I went through all the media and articls back in 2009 right before the PDX was released and bought the rangers instead. Its funny all the myths about the talons. I do carry the Rangers. And your right when i see the talons at guns shows people are always asking questions to the seller. I get a little laugh every time. Great video. BTW did you join mythbusters. lol
