I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and we were talking about ammo. I told him that I was ordering a few boxes of Federal Premium Tactical 155g HST to try in my Glock 27. He thinks it's illegal to carry in Colorado because it is restricted to law enforcement only. Is there any truth in that?
NopeQuote:

Perfectly legal to own.
There are no laws restricting ammo to LEO.
That's what I was thinking. ThanksQuote:

I personally think it is better to carry the same ammo as your local law enforcement agency. I even send emails to local agencies inquiring what ammo they use. It is a smart move because if you ever actually have to use it you can use that research in your defense. Seeing as how they carry ammo that has been shown not to over penetrate therefore being safer for bystanders and what not. Just some food for thought.

I am in no way not saying you did it... But history repeats itself.
This is what some people consider a hot button topic.
"don't call them they are Just buying lowest bidder ammo"
"Yes call them for the legal protection of using the same ammo"
"They don't test the ammo"
"Yes they do test the ammo"
Next thing you know, someone throws an ugly word out there and its on...
I'll just sit and wait for the fireworks.
Definitely not what I would want. I should know by now though, any topic including LEOs seems to become a big bullshit flinging ring.Quote:

I don't think that "over penetration" is about killing babies hanging out on the other side of bad guys.
Their website seems like a cheesy late night 1980's infomercial that has a Macho Man Randy Savage want-a-be doing the voice over.Quote:
