Safe Stop for Self Defense
Mag Safe makes a .30 Caliber SWAT Load. Haven't fired it and I don't know much about it. You can see it on thier web page and I think Natchez Shooters sells it.
Safe Stop @
www.safestop.net will be producing .30 caliber bullet designed by Jim Cirillo formerly of NYPD. He used the .30 carbine in gun fights while with the stake out unit. This fellow certainly has had the experience to design a great round. Check out the web page and email Fuzzy for more details about the release date of the Safe Stop .30 caliber.
Also, Cor Bon is slated to release a Pow'r Ball in .30 Caliber.
Finally, Winchester produces a 110 grain Hollow Soft Point. I've read that this performs well on varmints and is around $26.00 for 50. It also reported feeds well in the M1's.
I'd like to know more about the .22 Spitfire.
I think the lack of effective ammo placed this gun on the shelf for years as a self defense weapon. Now, it seems good ammo is coming out. I think it's a great choice between a pistol caliber carbine and a high powered rifle like a .223. Since IAI and Fulton Armory are producing M1's this caliber may make a real comeback.
I just bought an old M1. I'm seeing so much talk about it in the discussion groups I figured I'd get it before the price goes up.
It's almost 60 years old and functions quite well.
