Can they be sold to someone who lives in California? Thanks Tom

Why did they quit making them? Is it because they expand so large? 0 -
Not to mention that they were praised in some music as "cop killers". There is nothing wrong with the bullets, they aren't even all that much better than anything else. The Eldorado Starfire bullets, are almost identical in construction to the black talon, but don't have the viscious name and are therefore still on the shelf.

I thought "cop killer" bullets were teflon coated spire point, to penetrate a vest????? 0 -
The black coating, Lubalox I beleive, was rumored to be the same sort of coating. Like I said, there is no prize for inteliigence amongst the artists who sing about violence in a glorified manor. It was however, enough to worry winchester into removing the product.

Minnesota has no law against any handgun ammunition. They aren't any more effective than any other hollowpoint. 0 -
It's amazing how this rumor got started when Winchester, not the Government, pulled the Black Talons. 0 -
Black Talons are not Cop Killers, they will not penetrate a vest.
The only Cop Killers that have the name Cop Killers are Teflon coated bullets.
There are also bullets with steel inserts (I don't know thw name of them) that will penetrate a vest.
Remember...Terrorist are attacking Civilians; Not the Government. Protect Yourself!0 -
If memory serves, one of the reasons it was pulled was the way the bullet expanded and shredded tissue as it penetrated. Some doctors also voiced complaints about the sharp edges produced when the round expanded and the hazards it posed to them when the operated to remove the round by penetrating their rubber gloves. 0 -
i work in surgery, and i can tell you doctors and staff take lots of procautions to avoid needle sticks,etc..most of the time we "double glove" and any surgeon handling foreign objects with his hands and not forcepts of some sort, is considered careless and deserves to what he gets.
