40 S & W bullet

[RAF]

Here are some pictures of a 40 S & W round recovered from a pail of water to demonstrate the expansion. This one was know as a Black Talon. In Canada the are considered a prohibited device and are only legally used in law enforcement. I'm told doctors don't like them because of the sharp edge which tend to cut who ever handles them when being removed from the recipient.

That's a nasty looking bullet.

I edited your post a little bit so that you didn't have to scroll from side to side to view the images. Hope you don't mind.

raf thanks for the pics.
i also have a 40sw and have 2 boxes of black talons. the are no longer leagal to manufacture in the u.s. but not illegal to sell or use. but once they are gone, youwont be able to get. they are hard to get now. so i dont think it will be long befor they are truly all gone.

ps. from what i hear the recipiant usually doesnt make it to hospital!

no big deal, just get the remington golden sabre equivalent, I doubt that you will see a difference.

If not, try the winchester RANGER bullet, it is a copper version of the talon bullet
