They're made by SinterFire right here in Kersey, PA! It's the only powdered metal plant that has a rifle range out back. It said in the paper recently that they are working on a powdered metal bullet that will mushroom like a lead bullet - the whole point I guess is to be lead-free.
yea, frangibles..... thats them.... the show also talked about lead free rounds so as to not pollute the ground... and they are being worked into the military already. crazy.

Tried out the Glock 26 this weekend. First time shooting...definitely a lot of fun. Not sure I like it but it may have been because I was probably holding it incorrectly.

Its a Firearm......A weapon is what you use when you are beating someone to a pulp....Firearm is what its called...AKA a pistol rifle and or shotgun...In its neutral presence..

AS for carry............

Cold season equalls..6"+ barrell under your gear.........Summer time equalls...3" barrell inside your shorts pocket......


I actually can pack but dont......Theres always another safe way to get out of harms way without risking or loosing your firearm.......

But if I feel the need to pack the heavyz...I do....

there are actually many brands of frangible bullets. some take peices of lead and press em togeather to form the bullet, hit something soft and they flatten and split off mostly like a regular bullet but the peices split off and create multiple wound tracks (increased bleeding) when they hit something hart they split up and lose energy faster to make them safe in urban areas. there are a couple different styles and only some police departments use them because they also aren't effective firing through glass etc (like a shoot out with a criminal inside a car)
