Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed for law enforcement and personal defense use, so it is not presented as a general-purpose hunting bullet.
  • The lead-free construction is useful where that is required, but it may not be necessary for shooters without that restriction.
  • Barrier performance is described for intermediate materials such as car doors, plywood, and windshield glass, so real-world results will depend on the specific load and application.
  • This is a 40-count box, which may be a smaller quantity than some bulk practice or duty purchases.
