We have a fairly stupid and strange law here in Austria- it bans "jacket hollowpoints", but full metal hollowpoints are legal as
well as any other nonhollowpoint design.
Since I don't want to give up my Glocks, I can't use the lead hollowpoint revolver loads.
Maybe you can help me find more pros and cons of the various alternatives which I found in gunmagazine articles and over the net:
*lead Hydrashoks ( discontinued )
*Hirtenberger EMB ( not available for civillians- even in the US ) )
*Geco BAT ( not available for civillians )
*Triton CQD Frangible ( accuracy problems, http://www.triton-ammo.com/cqd.html )
*Cor-Bon BeeSafe ( fairly expensive, http://www.cor-bon.com/beesafe.htm )
*Aquila .45 High Power ( http://www.aguilaammo.com/45acp.htm )
*Mullins ESM ( fairly expensive, very unproven design?, http://www.sunlink.net/~jlray/JM/eca.html )
*RBCD TFSP ( new design?, http://www.rbcd.net/prod02.htm )
*Federal Nyclad ( maybe not legal due to the plastic "jacket" )
*Triton Quick Shok Softpoints ( not available yet )
*Pro-Load Defender ( not available yet )
*light softpoints in .357 Sig ( must be handloaded )
Which one would you choose and why?
Thanks in advance
