Is my Ammo legal to carry in my gun?
- Thread starter moldman
- Start date
I bought these from a gun store in Lawrenceville, Ga. about 25 years ago. At the time I didn't realize they were +p and put 6 of them in an old cheap Taurus 38. That Taurus was stolen from my truck years ago (someone got a surprise). I was told later they were Illegal. Why are they illegal?
Thanks
Thanks
The only illegal ammo I remember was Black Talons and they are nothing compared to today ammo.
I don't know about where the law would be stated (or even if it's still in force) but these kinds of rounds were at some point restricted for sale only to federal law enforcement (which isn't necessarily the same as being illegal for you to possess)
Apparently (and coincidentally, given the date) these rounds were used at the Waco standoff.

I heard they soak those in decon. Highly illegal, but in my educated opinion Cowabunga dude.
must be pork dippedPsssshhhamateurs …… I carry fecal laced, semen soaked, 125grain jacketed hollow PUNTAS in my 38.
I found this on the inturb-web, so it must be true:
"These are from PMC and were called UltraMag. They were sold briefly in the '80's before their brass bullet design was banned as it could penetrate the Level II body armor worn by many law enforcement officers. As best as I can recall, the bullet weighed about 66 grains and was reported to hit about 1400 ft/sec from a 4" bbl. "

Black Talons were never "illegal". the Manufacture just pulled them and renamed them as "Ranger" or something similar and sold to "LE" only. IIRC, PMC Starfire are about the same thing as black talons.
