Glaser Safety Slugs

[doc540]

"I extract bullets,and parts of bullets on a daily basis from people in surgery.I definitely wouldn't want to be hit by a Magsafe of any caliber !They are not the cure all,end all round in every scenario,but,they are lethal in their range."

Again, while I respect your professional experience, common sense tells me it's not the "range" that might make the life-or-death difference, but the odds of an "unobstructed" shot.

Perhaps by "range" you meant "their area of lethal performance". If so, I totally agree with you.

I no longer bet my life on the chance that I get an unobstructed, vital-spot shot with Glasers or MagSafe in my .38.

YMMV

I no longer bet my life on the chance that I get an unobstructed, vital-spot shot with Glasers or MagSafe in my .38.

I may be splitting hairs here, but I'm not sure Glasers and MagSafes should be lumped under the same banner. From what I understand, Glasers have shot pellets packed loose in a polymer shell. Magsafes have the shot pellets packed in a bed of epoxy.

Having shot not one human, goat, or lump of jelly with the above ammo ( ), I can't speak with any authority -- but it seems reasonable that the MagSafes would present a more controlled platform for penetration and dispersal than the Glasers.

Having said that, I don't think there's a "magic bullet" out there either -- hence the preference for both ERDOC and myself to Dutch-load our handguns...

Every revolver I have owned has a little forward to back play like that. Nothing to worry about. I have never had a problem.

Just a side note here....Glasers don't have the penetration needed to get the job done....MagSafe on the other hand is a whole different story...I use to test ammo for Joe Zambone...he would make up a new load and I would test that load on lots of meat....I can tell ya the man really knew his stuff and you can trust his ammo to get the job done pronto....the new Magsafe (under new ownership) IMHO just does not measure up to what Joe used to make...if you have any of Joe's original loadings...hold onto that stuff and don't be afraid to use it in your guns for SD...There is no doubt what-so-ever in my mind as to their potential and about the results ERDoc has seen and reported on, from the operating table.....Doc
