Is there any way to get any KTW ammo for collection?

[tim71]

I know the sale of this ammo was outlawed but is there any way to get any metal piercing ammo for a collection? I'd love to find some for my ammo collection. I don't know of anyone ever having any.

probably at a gun show from another collector. once in while I see a single round in a grab bag box. I'm not sure if the seller knew what he had or not.

I have 3 rounds of 357 in my cartridge collection

got them with an MTM 38 caliber ammo wallet purchaced from a retired cop along with a box of stuff he sold a gun shop I frequented at the time. they bought the guns i bought the box. a number of collectable rounds in there some old Super-Vel(38s), a few (6) origional hydroshock(befour federal) 357s, 5 S&W nyclads, the 3 KTW 357s. I also got some holsters a bushnell pistol scope and some other stuff. Not bad for $25.

What's the deal on those super-vel .38s. Are they really hot loaded?

Man I can't hardly find the ktw's anywhere. There's a cartridge show near me in a month so maybe I'll get lucky.

I did find out that it's legal to sell from an individual to an individual. It's illegal to distribute, import or manufactur with out a special permit. A licensed collector can sell it but has to fill out paperwork.

At least there's hope.

I'm not sure if the KTW ammo is even made anymore. the only way it could be ordered was on the police department letterhead

Here's a couple of shots of some of the KTW and other AP rounds in my cartridge collection; it's still out there in small quantities, but you'll probably have to look pretty hard for it.
