Mark clearly you have not done your research.
I use this in a small of the back holster. It is nearly impervious to lint and 7.62 x 39 is cheap enough that I just fire it off daily to avoid contact with my body deactivating the primers.

This is why CIT robberies in Canada are so rare compared to, say, Britain:

And a shotgun (or a non-restricted CZ 858, which--to a home-invader--looks unnervingly like an AK-47) beats a handgun in the sphincter-relaxing quotient anytime...and can be legally stored with one less lock.
No--the moisture from evaporating perspiration. After shoveling snow recently, I took off my (urethane-lined) jacket and was amazed at how much sweat had condensed on the back of my jacket. This can't be good for primers. I store ammo in a box with silica gel, in a room that's always about 22 degrees, but being against a body all day would eventually kill the primers. Cops' and CIT guards' holsters sit outside their clothing, away from the body. Rotating in new ammo frequently would also be a good idea.

What about all the undercover/detective guns that live in armpits and butt-cracks!
Do they use special primers??
How about military ammo??
Must be that Special Agent 666 "Toxic Sweat Weapon".

I didn't say it was a good idea, I just asked if anyone has floated the idea with the CFO, since they seem to use caliber restrictions to eliminate semi-auto handguns from consideration.

I stand corrected. Must be an impressive fireball from that thing, considering what my 11.8" vz-58 puts out.
Armoured car guards are not armed in England?
Might as well just paint targets on their uniforms. Once again, the stupidity emanating from that island leaves me speechless.I agree with that, the sound of a pump action shotgun being racked has to rank as one of the more terrifying sounds a thief could hear. Not sure how you figure on the lock, restricteds can be stored in a safe with no trigger lock required. One lock to deal with, either way.

They won't have a chance to relax their sphincters if they're dead.

Likely has more effect on your love life than the primers, just saying.

Sad to have to add, is this not automatic?
Ok ok you got me there
Bad wording on my part
read an article in a gun digest that said the 38 special loaded with 200 gr. pills was best for home deffense as bullet weight was to heavy to stabalize and paper testing indicated a 98% tumble factor which caused massive wound channel and almost no pass throughs - all energy in the bad guy and no collateral dmg. but 38 spec. is an old cal. surely it can'y be any good

This idea is fine as long as your target is not more than 5 meters away, or you might completely miss him. My experience with keyholing bullets is accuracy is well, non-existent. Non-existent accuracy that is.
To the OP, I'm just old school. Big diameter and heavy bullet will do the job. My personal defense load is the ordinary hardball. .45 acp does not need to expand. Hardball gives 100% functional reliability in my pistols.

The best thing about this is that they are specifically advocating shooting an inaccurate round that is extremely heavy and therefore if you miss you will serious problems with interior wall penetration. And their selection is based on shooting paper.
Way to go, gun mags, you never disappoint.
article was very clear about accuracey - the load grouped well at 25 and 50 yards not many people around that can shoot a handgun well past that and certainly dosn't apply in a home deffense . the article is from a large gun digest from 72 titled big bullets from little guns. interesting read as they actualy did testing .
My experience is quite different. I have seen targets hit by bullets tunbling out to 25 yards and still hit a man size target. Out to 25 yards I doubt tumbling has much effect on combat accuracy within the relatively short defensive range of a handgun.
Getting hit by a tumbling bullet would likely cut a hole the length of the bullet through you. Isn't this one of the attributes of the .223 bullet when it hits flesh ie it tumbles?
