What cartridge is LMPD carrying?
What cartridge is LMPD carrying?
I was told a few years ago that they carried the 165gr Golden Saber Bonded but I can't find them for sale anywhere anymore. I've always carried them on the assumption that if I had to use and a rogue DA tried to claim I went out an bought some exotic exploding fragmenting HP ammo I could always counter that I just bought the same thing our police department uses.

Re: What cartridge is LMPD carrying?
Just my own 2 cents. If you drew and used you weapon when you were in fear of your life or grevious bodily harm, made sure your rounds hit their intended locations. I am fairly certain that the type of projectile inside said dirtbag would be of less interest. Otherwise we should have a list of approved ammo or weapons with our CCDW training. Personally I use the ammo that seems to shoot the best for me in that weapon. Good question.
I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.

Their case is weak as hell and I am not a lawyer but I could get you a not guilty verdict with their basis. The original question I do not know the answer though.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

I seriously doubt you will find it locally. I've never seen it for sale. Give me a second I will try to see if I can at least find you a box for reference.

From what I gather its just the updated version of Hydrashock, They label it as law enforcement or tactical but im guessing thats more of an advertising ploy then anything else. A few years ago Federal announced it was going to update its line , and more specifically the hydra shock. It looks just like the HST when opened up but with the hydra shock bullet profile.
