My rule of thumb is that you cannot trust any review site or reviewer that received a 'review sample'.

Maybe not all the time, but If the reviewer didn't pay for the item being tested, they are all to often indebted to the manufacturer to say nice things about the item being reviewed.

If a product is a lemon and the reviewer discovers that immature green lemons were being squeezed, if he doesn't call out the manufacturer and let them know the lemons are edible, the end user will soon discover their lemonade is sour.

PS, A sucker is born every minute, anyone that buys this is just that.

**different manufacturers.... Stupid autocorrect

Lets hope you don't ever need to use the ammo, because you are not testing it in your weapon to determine its POI, its reliability in feeding, etc. It's highly suggested you cycle as many rounds of your home defense ammo as possible through your weapon to ensure it feeds reliably, cycles the action, and determine where the round will be heading. It's different for every type of ammo, that's why you test! After a couple of hundred rounds, you will have *some* experience, and maybe *some* confidence, in the round performing.

This is a gimmick for people that don't understand real world ballistics and characteristics of wound channels etc. This is a horrible round in theory, worse in reality. Perform the *simple* calculation of muzzle energy, they flat out lied about the rounds characteristics. Anybody that purchases this better be living alone, I would never fire a round I knew would randomly exit the targets body in any direction due to deflections and target density changes. When I fire at a target, I anticipate where the round will enter, where it will exit, and what is behind my target. Now you need to determine what is to the sides of your target, the floor above, below, and all the walls to the side. Should you actually ever fire this round while a court system exists, you will have to plea to the jury your intention was not to maim a target, but to kill the target in self defense. Small temporary wound channels are not effective IMHO. Good luck!

I don't say this to upset anybody, but the level ignorance demonstrated by so many who have posted on this is beyond dangerous! IF you want a dangerous gimmick, buy old sticks of sweating TNT, dig up an old land mine and drive around with it, etc. Just don't give us realistic and educated gun owners a bad name because you saw something k00lz on the net. I only have 7 years of combat medical experience to back up my opinions, along with many years doing the same thing on the private side, but what do I know? Do a little learning, and figure it out for yourself.

I checked out this listing hoping it was for 50 round BTW :D

Look up the ballistics tests on Youtube or the company website. If I remember correctly, there are 9 or 10 wound channels. The sectional cone of the bullet fractures which somehow improves the initial penetration through barriers. Then the main portion of the bullet punches straight through everything else. The shockwave to the ballistics gel was sick. That being said, I am a cheap bastard. If you want quality, good choice. Quantity, balance other options.

That's fed ex. If you click U.S. Postal Service below fed ex it's $8.95 for two boxes.

I think +p 9mm will suffice, $2.50/rnd is crazy.
