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!)
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:
he says they work as advertised. I don't currently have the sites but when I was investigating EFMJ a year or more ago there were some pretty good tests done with it.
One other site showing acceptable performance is here.
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.
