Re: "They call it the R.I.P. round for good reason...."
So what about HSTs and Golden Sabers? What about Hornady Critical duty or their Z-Max stuff? None of that is marketed for hunting, it's marketed for putting down bad guys.
Self defense is not a legitimate purpose? It sure seemed that way when they asked why I felt I needed a CCW at the sheriff's office.
I'm willing to bet that there was a lot more at play than him 'just using a 10mm'.
Show me actual cases and their outcomes, not what some guys heard on some forum.

It was an actual case. I read it in Guns and Ammo or one of the like magazines, not on "some forum". It was a normal 10mm hollow point round too not some ammo specifically marketed to "kill people better". All I'm saying is that something like this could extend a trial, that's all. If you can find it look up Harold Fish. He was hiking in Arizona when another hiker's dog charged him. He fired a warning shot and the hiker, who had a violent past and was armed with a screwdriver, also charged him shouting threats to his life. He ended up having to defend himself and was found guilty, greatly because of his choice of caliber. It was eventually reversed but he did spend time in jail after being sentenced to 10 years.

In most cases the prosecution is going to try and hang you out to dry regardless. Yeah the bullet design is something else to point the finger at. I use designs that LE uses and the prosecution could make the argument I am acting like I am a rogue cop wannabee using killer bullets the cops use. Can be a lose, lose regardless.

Half of those jello shots looked pretty impressive, half looked marginal from a PC standpoint. I'm OK with that. It seems they are sticking with the copper doctrine of having a nice base piece stay together and go deep. I am not dismissing this round. If it has penetration, all the crazy action should be a plus in theory.
I've never seen ballistic gel that looks like that. Who knows what that stuff was.
Independent testing needed. Maybe there is something here, maybe not.
