I'm looking for opinions on the Glaser Safety Slugs. Do they work as advertised? Are there downsides to using this ammo in a HD handgun? Do they penetrate enough? I see there's two types, blue and silver. Is one recommended over the other for certain reasons?
Thanks.
From Corbon:
"Glaser Safety Slug is the perfect choice for home and self defense. It offers reduced penetration in solid (inanimate) objects while delivering maximum stopping power with minimum danger of ricochet or over penetration.
The Glaser's thin-wall jacket and precision compressed lead shot core with a soft polymer tip. This construction provides an expansion, resulting in controlled disintegration. The round-nose ballistic design of the bullet profile guarantees feeding reliability and maximizes effective range with target grade accuracy.
Stopping power is maximized by the complete dispersal of the bullet energy into the intended target with immediate shock and trauma. This rapid fragmentation delivers the available energy over a large area. Stopping power is maximized with the optimum balance of bullet weight and velocity. The complete dispersal of the bullet energy in the intended target creates immediate shock and trauma. Glaser Safety Slug has unequalled muzzle energy available."
BLUE:
Glaser BLUE uses #12 shot compressed into a solid form. The Glaser BLUE produces immediate energy dispersal into the target, reducing the possibility of over penetration and creating abrupt stopping power. The numerous projectiles disperses outward generating an effective wound cavity.
SILVER:
Glaser SILVER is made up of #6 shot. With the Silver load, you get much larger segments; deeper penetration and controlled energy release.
Thanks.
