NEED ADVICE ON AMMO

[RAMBOCAT]

Has anyone had any experience with ALLIGIENCE .45 ACP in the 125 grain frangible bullet?

I don't have any experience with them, no.

But a question: Why the interest in a "frangible" bullet?

 

[RAMBOCAT]

Massive fragmentation in soft tissue with high energy transfer (due in part to 125grains @ 1350 fps). Also low chance of exiting more than one wall of drywall and no ricochet.

Geez, another Super bullet.

Ah...

So, if frangible bullets are so wonderful, ever wonder why the Federal Air Marshals don't use them?

Because a bullet that shatters/fragments upon impact is no way to attempt to stop someone who needs stopped.

If a bullet has the "power" to stop a human, it's going to go through drywall.

If you're worried about in-home defense, look into a gun launching light 556/223.

... or maybe a shotgun with bird dust in the shell. Scary hard in the first few feet, but not so much penetration after it scatters out in a few yards.

Maybe an old fashioned comment for those worried about penetrating walls. My shotgun is loaded with 00 buck, but I also have a light on it.
