Not necessarily in topic, but, FWIW, some random recollections on Glasers.
1. Particulary in defense-oriented semiauto handguns, one needs to test fire enough of them to be sure the gun runs reliably with them. (I did not have the budget for such).
2. Yes, they are also available in rifle calibers. From my testing in scoped Mini-14 (which shoots about 3" groups on a good day), .223 Glaser point of impact at 100 yards was several inches low and to the right of my (sighted-in) groups with with 55 grain JHPs. And the Glaser "group" around 4:30 was more like 6".
3. Some field testing (I forget the souce) indicated the handgun rounds would penetrate considerably more than just 2 layers of drywall.
4. An older Air Marshall dropped by our range a few months ago just long enough to look things over and visit for a jif. Coincidently his personal carry gun that day was identical to mine - a S&W 340PD with Crimson Trace overmoulded grips. And his carry load ... was Glasers.
