.40 S&W protection Ammunition

[2HOW]

No problem, that would be any load that is pre fragmented as in small pieces that break apart when they hit an object and go different ways into the medium. Frangible bullets, often made from sintered (formed by heat and pressure) metal powders that will break into tiny fragments, are designed to disintegrate on impact with a hard surface. They are becoming increasingly popular in situations where ricochets or "splash-back" from bullets is not tolerable. These include firearms training facilities and crowded places such as airports, courtrooms and office buildings. Additionally, the lead-free nature of frangible bullets eliminates the risk of exposure to that hazardous substance, Corbon and Glaser are a few. Some good tests I saw were at Box o truth .com pretty good real world test site.

So Glaser Safety Slugs or Magisafe rounds is what they mean?  I had just never heard that term.  I have heard stories about Glaser not going through the windshield of a car in Ohio that was involved in a drive by shooting.  The Police were useing Glaser and they just broke up on the windshield as the car drove away never to be caught.

I use corbon DPX and Pow r ball in my beretta 96 and dpx in my charter arms 38.

I notice  nobody has mentioned CoreBon??? Never shot their .40 ammo but their .357 is wonderful.

I've been following Massad Ayoob's advice to carry what your local police carry to help defend ammo choice. Hence, I'm loaded with Winchester Ranger. Our police carry Sig 220 45's, so I carry a similar round in 40. I've been know to go with Corbon 135 gr. and like what I've heard about DPX. Haven't seen any DPX in our local shops yet. All of these other choices sound pretty good too.

I've carried Cor-Bon JHP ammo in both my Glock 27 .40 S&W and in my Commander .45 ACP for years.
It is accurate, functionably reliable (in my guns, and as reliable as one would trust in a carry load) and shootability is good.
No one around here stocks it so I order from Sportsman's Guide in bulk quantities.

My suggestion would be to test, test, and test some more. Anything yo're going to bet your life on needs to be tested often.
