since when are hollowpoints allowed in pistols?

In the late 80's some douchebag at NRCAN managed to get hollowpoint handgun ammo restricted from import by civilians. They were never illegal to have or use. Since most pistol calibers have a rifle chambered in that caliber, for the most part, imports and saled never stopped.
When the CFSC first came out, the manual was largely silent about the issue, but the graphics and such left many with the impression that they were prohibited.
Since at least 2002. The CFSC/CRFSC materials haven't been updated in over a decade so sometimes true answers are 'wrong' answers on the exams.
Here's a CBSA document that gives the status of HP handgun ammo.

That is correct when referring to military use. Hollow points are perfectly legal and are usually the type used by police and government agencies for domestic law enforcement.

BTHP
you should have seen the look on my instructors face when he saw my pol- class 3- you honestly wonder how some of these guys qualify to teach- and you're right about the "embellishments" stick to the matter at hand, and if you don't know, don't offer an opinion- better to thought a fool etc
Periodically check to ensure that only officially
issued weapons and ammunition are being carried by
officers. Provide appropriate sanctions for any
officer found in possession of non-official-issue
materials (especially such items as fragmentation,
hollow-point or dum-dum bullets)
from the United Nations Human Rights website
From the Canadian Armed forces website -
510. PROHIBITED AMMUNITION
1. The following types of ammunition are prohibited:
a. projectiles of a weight below 400 grams that are either explosive or charged with fulminating
(exploding) or inflammable substances;
b. bullets that expand or flatten easily in the human body, such as bullets with a hard envelope that
does not entirely cover the core or is pierced with incisions (that is, hollow point or “dum-dum”
bullets); and.
c. bullets that have been dipped in poison.
and dont just qualify a response without providing reasons.. or you end up looking dumb!.. really dumb
law enforcement use is controvertial and not a universal standard...

An Abraham Lincoln quote comes to mind.
Wendy really neads to hire better help.
That only applies to operations that the UN would have jurisdiction over such as sanctioned peace keeping operations. The UN has no jurisdiction over any nation's police forces.

UN Human Rights website? And? So?
The Hague Convention applies only to the armed forces of nations signatory to the Convention.
Police and other public bodies routinely use softpoint or hollowpoint ammunition both in rifles and handguns. Police and other public bodies may well restrict the use of non-issue arms, ammunition, and other equipment, but that has nothing to do with the Hague Convention or the UN.
