BTW...I've tried almost everything on the list...the Extreme Shocks look good on paper, and they'll decimate a watermelon, but up against two jean legs (4 layers of denim), they disintegrate every time; two layers, they either pentrate and don't expand, or they splatter into a zillion pieces.

I'd guess that the impact might put someone down, but if it can't reliably get through a couple layers of clothing...

The corbons expanded every time, but so did the HSTs, for half the cost.

The second best that I shot? Plain old Winchester 230 grain hollow-points.

I might have to swing by Cabellas!!!
It's just a range... someone put up... I don't know who owns it, I just know its ok to shoot there.

I carry black talons. My dad had about 10 boxes of it and gave them to me when I bought my XDM.

I'll assume you are referring to the post about Black Talons (I still have a few myself).

Now... What "BS"?

The media and the liberal turds believed that the black coating on them would allow it to pass through body armor and kill cops.

Winchester Ranger SXTs are basically the same thing if you like Black Talons.
