http://www.firearmstactical.com/briefs2.htmThe forensic pathologist who performed the autopsies of the fatal shooting victims gave a detailed presentation about his findings at the 1994 IWBA Wound Ballistics Conference in Sacramento: "The 101 California Shooting: The Black Talon Bullet," Boyd Stevens, M.D., Medical Examiner, San Francisco, CA. He stated that the wound trauma produced by Black Talon was unremarkable, meaning the wounds were no different nor any more severe than wounds produced by typical JHP handgun bullets. Each of the victims incurred fatal injury because a bullet passed through a vital structure.
Why? They prefer ammo that goes through walls and vests? I guess for Jersey that makes sense. Kind of a crowd control.legacy38 said:It is my understanding that New Jersey doesn't allow expanding ammo.
It is my understanding that the Ranger is LEO only.legacy38 said:I don't know of any such ammo restrictions in GA. Winchester pulled them for marketing and legal reasons, but if you can find Ranger SXT it is the same stuff.

I'm not an LEO (yet) and I've been carrying Ranger in my carry weapon for 2 months now.wsweeks2 said:It is my understanding that the Ranger is LEO only.legacy38 said:I don't know of any such ammo restrictions in GA.

It's marked that way, but it's not illegal for non-LEO to have. Winchester usually only ships it to cop shops though, but it can be found with a little looking.wsweeks2 said:It is my understanding that the Ranger is LEO only.legacy38 said:I don't know of any such ammo restrictions in GA.

Absolutely not! I've been carrying 180gr .40cal Ranger-Ts for four years now. There is no (Georgia) state or federal law that restricts civilian use of ammunition that is marked "Law Enforcement Only."wsweeks2 said:It is my understanding that the Ranger is LEO only.legacy38 said:I don't know of any such ammo restrictions in GA.

Excatly nvsble, the "Drive-by Media" put it out that the black coating on the Talons was "teflon armor piercing" and that was the end of it.nvsble said:The Talons just got bad publicity because a couple of crazies used them in shootings and the press took it from there. If you want Ranger SXTs try Classic in Chicamauga, Ga. They usually have some in and they have good prices on ammo and guns.
