I live in NJ (no cracks please), HP are illegal. I was wondering if anyone know anything about these rounds and what your thought are.

From what I've been told from a friend they have the same effect as HP, but are legal.

Thanks,

Rich

I have no experience with them, but the general consensus on this board is that they are not a viable self-defense round. You may want to look into the Federal EFMJ (expanding full metal jacket) round.

I'm not certain about their legality, but they are NOT a traditional hollow point, and they have a much better reputation among shooters than the Extreme Shock rounds do. And, of course... What exit? :biggrin: (I was 99 off the GSP when I lived there!)

Thanks I'll have to look into them. Interesting that the two places I've been buying from (Cabelas & Sportsmanguide) don't seem to carry them.

Any you just couldn't resist the exit thing, OK I'm betweek 8 & 7A on the turnpike.
Yeah, I'm 7A off the Turnpike, but you have to go all the way down the shore from there... :urla9ub:

Good luck with the ammo hunt.

I'm a fan of the EFMJ rounds and carry them in one of my 1911. They are not the easiest to find because it seems demand for them is high. I get the best prices so far from:

If they are out of stock it's worth calling and talking to them. They'll know when more is due in.

They are legal in NJ.

I refuse to buy anything marketed to the shooting public that way, they assume that we are stupid enough to buy into the "extreme" this and that the "anti terrorist" bologne.
I dont care how good it is or isnt, its marketing ruins it for me.
