As I recall one of the biggest beefs with BTs was the sharpness of the jacket petals. Surgeons kept cutting their hands when they tried to remove the bullets during surgery when they tried it digitally vs forceps.
Yes, that was part of the BS too, like criminals actually use premium ammo and copper jackets on other bullets don't have sharp edges as well. The funny thing is that Winchester basically dropped sales of Black Talon handgun bullets to the public but continued with the same bullet design with a different name in rifle calibers.

True, if you keep shooting it the bullets just fall out the barrelHey now, that's unpossible. The woman at PB Carmel told me so! Don't you read?
Well I can guarantee that I wasn't the one that waited on you. If someone says that a lower or something has a new feature I want to see for myself so I will go look up what they are talking about.(Hell it may be one I want. Lool) I try to keep up with all the changes but it is impossible. Now, That being said I do work with a couple of young bucks that think they know everything and won't listen to anyone or anything. I stick around for the Good customers that I have, the guys on here that I deal with and naturally the chance to fondle new products. Been there 10 years and I am a part-time employee at the shop. I have milspec lowers that I use myself and I have some upgraded ones also and I have a lot of nice things I have bought or built through the shop over the years. If the customer wants a high dollar lower and I can find it for them then I just earned another regular customer of mine. Treat the customer well and they will come back looking for you. I treat everyone the same till they give me a reason not too. Rant over
It takes more than a primer to push a bullet.

Actually, I was used to S&W K frames and that little Colt just looked so "delicate" by comparison, so I was acting out of an abundance of caution (obviously unnecessarily!). I was still very much new to handguns in general and to reloading in particular.
They continued using the projectile design in handgun calibers too. They just changed the packaging and deleted the black coating on the projectiles. It was sold as Winchester Ranger SXT which people joked stood for "Same eXact Thing".
LOL, is that a Glock, Smith??? I like the trigger discipline.....
Not to throw a shop under the bus but it was when a new shop opened in South Bend catering to fatales. They had just opened so I'd hope the shop is different now. They've moved to a different location I think so they must be doing better. I hope they make it a long time. We need good LGS. I was just stunned by the response.
Well, that's obviously wrong. He has the magazine backwards!
Hey, I just thought of something. Awhile back I bought a 25 round drum magazine for my 1911 on a lark. Reckon it would work with my Ruger Blackhawk convertible with the 45 acp cylinder??Gee, I guess so, and with an extended reversible magazines as well. Talk about cutting edge tecnology!
