    They still make Black Talon or are you using really old stock?

    You might think about switching to Winchester SXTs

    its the old stock, they dont make them anymore. :nono:theres no way id switch to the NEW SXT, id consider the OLD SXT which is the "Same Xact Thing" as the black talon or the T-series...

    Here are some pictures of the 9mm 147gr HST against some Hydrashoks and a Golden Sabre, not sure of the weight of the GS though. There is also a .380 Hydrashok in there too.

    Everything was shot into wet phone books with the exception of the HST that was shot into water jugs. That one went through 3 jugs, and cracked the back of the 3rd and the front of the 4th.

    There's nothing special about black talon. It was new in it's day but a lot of HPs perform just as well these days.

    Definitely not worth carrying around old ammo that you've never practiced much with just because you think you might cause a little more damage with each little round.

    Just my 2 cents.

    For my duty Glock 22- 165grn Federal Hydrashocks
    For my Glock 27 just switched to 165grn Federal Hydrashocks from Winchester Silvertips
    NAA Mini 22lr- CCI Velocitors
    Taurus 605- 125grn 357mag Golddots
    AR-15 55grn Federal TRU Softpoints and Homebrewed 55grn V-max
    DPMS LAR-308 168grn Homebrewed Hornady A-Maxes

    Just depends on what needs to be carried that day.

    i know theres nothing special about them, it was all the media giving the round a bad name.. its older ammo, but it shouldnt matter right? it still shoots.. having that ammo in my gun is just another way to personalize my gun.. i mean who else can say that they carry Black Talon? now i dont want anything to happen to the ammo either cuz its so rare so im prolly be swapping barrels in my Glock 22 to a 9mm and use the Federal HST's ive got coming to me....:rockwoot:
