California At It Again..this time "Cop Killer" Ammo

[Ping]

I still have a few black talons left over from many years ago. Refuse to fire them. They were great rounds and fired near perfect out of my Smith and Wesson 6906.

Its funny Ping, because apparently after Winchester stopped making them, the 'Black Talons' that is, the Winchester Ranger LE ammo appeared on the market.  Do a side by side of the two and you'll find that they are the same ammo, the Rangers don't have nickel plated brass.  Police are now shooting 'cop killer' ammo.  Fast forward a few years and the Winchester PDX pistol ammo is on the shelves, do a side by side of these with the Black Talons, hard to pick out which is which.  I use the PDX .45 ACP in my Sig P220.


EDIT

Read current status on the Wiki page.  All kinds of ironic.
