I recommend NOT using Federal Hydra-Shoks, and
here's why.<br><br>I was attending the annual SWAT
Sniper Symposium in Maryland this past January and spoke
personally, at length, with Dr. Martin Fackler (if you don't
know who Marty is, you should). Anyway, he won a
lawsuit against Federal when they sued him for his
comments about Hydra-Shoks over penetrating. He stated in
test findings that they tended to plug up and not
expand. Want to know what won the case for him? DURING
THE TRIAL, there was a police-involved shooting in,
if I recall, somewhere in Arizona. Not only did the
cop's Hydra-Shok go through the bad guy, it killed a
bystander several feet away.<br><br>I asked Marty what he
recommends, and his choice has been MY choice for the past
several years (it's always nice when a professional backs
up a decision I've made based on my OWN research):
Remington Golden Sabers. I use them as my defensive load in
my Python and in my PT945.
Midwest_Lass....reference your ammo question. Recoil will only effect your return time to second shot. And maybe make you flinch. <S>. I have not had ...

I just heard about this board and thought I would drop by. Unfortunately, the first post I read is a cut down of someone elses choice of shooting sport. Good ...
It was not my intention to defame anyone elses shooting game, just to point out that it was a GAME, and why I no longer played at it. No offense ment to those...
LadyBear1954....The arguement between IPSC and IDPA is all over the Web. My suggestion to you is to enjoy your affiliation with IPSC and ignore the comments of...
Midwest_Lass....Not a thing wrong with Sniper308's Remington Golden Sabers. A lot of PD's have gone to them. I just like what I like. Go with what feels best...
That was my point. It is just a game. I just get tired of people arguing over whose game is better. It doesn't matter. Yes, you ARE entitled to your own ...
Yes Leon, it is all over the web. That is why I thought I would drop in here. I was hoping NOT to find the same old arguements. I just want to get information...
LadyBear1954.....Fell better now? (Smile) Relax and enjoy. If you readback..no one meant any harm. The written word is often the most misunderstood since there...
LOL Leon. Yes, I feel better. As for those questions, maybe "Lass" can give me an answer on going to the ladies room with all that damn gear on. Especially...
Thanks Leonmichel and Sniper for your input. I also just heard about a type of ammo that is "safer" for condos --- and I'll be darned if I can think of the...
What you may be talking about is something called the Glaser Safety Slug. At least that's what it used to be called. Extreme loss of energy upon soft tissue....
Hello Ladybear!<br><br>After no posts for quite awhile, as soon as I go away for the weekend, the board goes wild! Sorry I missed all of these posts - I'll get...
Ladies Room....... I had to be very careful in the porta-potty at the Ladysmith Invitational this weekend, so I wouldn't lose my .22 down the hole!!! LOL! ...
That subject in the previous post should have said "Women's Gear Tips" - don't know what happened to the "Gear Tips" part........ <br><br>Chalk it up to being...
Glaser Safety Slugs or Mag Safes. Both are frangible and won't penetrate several walls in apartment buildings, et cetera. Yes, it is HIGHLY expensive (not...
Mag Safe! That's it! Thanks Sniper3O8! I knew it was Mag-something and couldn't remember. <br><br>Midwest_Lass <br>(I really am going to bed now.......
Both the Mag Safe and the Glaser Safety Slug have proven themselves to be excellent stoppers, and much less prone to overpenetration in walls, but the one ...
Mid_West Lass... What kind of ammo you using in that Ruger? I had one of the Stainless Gov't Comp target models that eventually gave me trouble with ammo as...
Leon,<br><br>For the most part, I have been using Remington .22 Thunderbolt, which works fine. A week before the match, I heard that CCI Mini-Mag would be...
MidWest_Lass....<br><br>Ok..forget the CCI Green Tag...and stay away from any 22 ammo that's says "Match" if you intend to do rapid firing. Match quality ammo...
Mid_WestLass....(Banging head on desk). Was shaving after posting my last to you and my mind just snapped. Go ahead and try the ammo I told you about, but keep...
I attended a manufacturer's shoot at my local gun shop today. I *thought* I would be there a few hours, and shoot a few guns........ <br><br>Well, I was there...
Lass: I noticed that you said you gripped the gun very tight and locked your arms. Try *not* to do that. By locking your arms there is no absorbtion for the ...
Quite right, about holding on tight. Your body should be, with regard to shooting handguns, like a shock absorber. If you can imagine driving over potholes in...
LadyBear and Sniper:<br><br>Thanks for your input - it's greatly appreciated! I don't normally "lock" my arms when I shoot. I was just trying everything under...
