I have to agree with this...I've read some experts that preach that you should use ammo used by the local pd and you use a stock pistol for carry. Fancy, deadly ammo and a lot of do-it-yourself tweaking to a pistol to lighten the trigger or whatever can be THE BEST ammo for a prosecutor looking to put you away for defending yourself. A trigger job by a gunsmith is understandable, but a lot of custom tweaking can be twisted into malicious intent...you were just "itchin'" for the chance.
+1 on jaybethel and ericire12. That's why you should NEVER use reloaded ammo in your carry gun either. Regular ammo not deadly enough? Trying to REALLY mess people up? I'd hate to be tried under those circumstances.
Black Talons were IMO one of the very best of the "magic bullets" ever made to meet FBI standards. The reverse taper jacket was more important to the design than the black color or the talons. I
think Hydra-Shoks were the first to pass the FBI tests and were followed soon after by Black Talons, Starfires, Golden Sabers, XTPs, and all the rest. They're all great bullets that are tough enough to penetrate glass and sheet metal and will still expand. I just wouldn't carry the Black Talons for the already stated reason when the rest of the group perform about the same.
