@andreleger2001 There is no winchester ranger t 45ACP +P+?

[andreleger2001]

@TheJGCSRT8 There is a +P version of the Ranger-T in .45 ACP but I have never seen any +P+ ammo of any flavor in .45 ACP.

I would love to use these for self defense but the only problem is that the super libs on jury duty that day would feel sorry for the scumbag that got shot with these and lock you up for using a " non-friendly round".

[andreleger2001]

@cartman934life Hmmm... I would tend to say that any competent lawyer would easily defeat this argument using the same logic. All they have to do is get a few agencies that use them on the stand and explain that they are the best for the agency and then argue why would a civilian not want what the local police are using? If it is good enough and appropriate for a law enforcement agency then why is it not good enough and appropriate for a civilian to use to protect his family?

@andreleger2001 I can't find these rounds anywhere! Did you purchase your ammo online or at a local gun show?

[andreleger2001]

@centurion205 I got these from tds-us but I have seen them at ammunitiontogo and at local gun shows.

In one side, guts out the other.

Would this expand in a 3.5 inch barrel? (Glock 30 SF)?

[smartguy104]

I don't know if you have a 10mm but double tap just introduced a imposed load. Its a hollow point sitting on top of a lead ball. the lead ball hits 1" high at 25 yards on every shot.

[Vernonu9]

These rounds are >=D Muhahahahaaaaaa!

[northernpatriot54]

@PoliticoJake no I meant over expand. The pedals on this round were designed to fold back at a near perpendicular angle to the main body of the round. At this point you get maximum expansion and optimum conditions for the most damage to be done. In my 1911a1 the pedals will over expand and bend backward, nearly touching the main body of the round on the back side. Therefore the round isnt properly expanded and optimum damage isnt possible.

@cartman934life I understand your concern but jhp should be explained to be bullets with brakes. That's how law enforcement gets to carry them. If a bullet over penetrates there are going to be unnecessary consequences so hollow points are the way to go. Super libs are more of a societal evil than welfare mothers.

@USAApproved No probs, It was a hot day out and my full frame G21 or my similar sized H K USP .45 were both too big for ccw's. I have the G27 too and you're right the bang is a lot. I don't shoot it much but it is kept in a drawer for emergencies. I will probably be getting a compact .45 with the great l.e. pricing though.

@thatguy66ish I'm following you now. I miss interpreted your comment and thought that you chose to use 9mm, not that it was the only convenience to you. I guess thats why you were using a Glock 26 too, they makem' in .40 but wouldn't recommend em' they have a nice little snap to it. I wasn't talking down to your Glock btw I love Glock, great CCW. I was saying that a 1911 would be better or a good lil 22LR.

[thatguy66ish]

@USAApproved Who knows? I don't have a compact .45. They aren't as compact as the 9mm though.

[USAApproved]

@thatguy66ish Use .45 and he would've died in your yard.
