Glaser Safety Slugs Any Good?
Anybody ever used Glaser Safety Slugs in 9mm +P in a semi-auto?
I am thinking about trying some in my sem-auto Kel-tec to bring the already light weight down even further and have even more stopping power than I presently have with my 9MM Hydra-shoks. Although I am a little put off by the high price per round. At SportsmansGuide.com 6 rounds cost $10.90 which is about $1.82 per round. It has an 80 gr bullet with a muzzle velocity of 1,500 FPS with 399 Ft. Lbs of energy.
So it sounds like I could drop some weight by replacing the 134 gr Hydra-shoks with 80 gr Glaser which would drop some weight from my carry firearm. Plus I would pickup some stopping power. I just have some doubt about such a light weight bullet reliably functioning the semi-auto action. Anybody know?

When the blue tips first came out, I had occasion to fire 2 inside my house from a 9MM Browning High Power.
The one that hit sheetrock out a helluva crater in it, but did not penetrate.
Which is what they are for.
I also carried them in a 3" 29 for awhile, but never had the reason to use them.
After I became judgement proof, I started carrying Hyda Shoks and Cor-Bon.

So.;....if I shoot a perp who is attacking me, and he is wearing a vest made out of sheetrock, my Glaser bullet will not even touch his body. Huuummmm.......OK, the Glasers are out of the ballgame.
Kinda joking there (I love to joke) but actually you gave me some valuable infomation and I just put it in a different context in a joking manner. But seriously, you save me from buying some very expensive ammo. I might now look at the 90 gr CorBons.
Thanks again.0 -
Hydra-shocks are great rounds! The weight you would be saving is inconsequential. You would never notice it, unless you are climbing Mt. Everest where ounces REALLY matter. 0 -
The first year that Glaser Safety Slugs came out there were 97 documented shootings, 96 of them were fatalities. A jewelery store owner in Florida had Glasers in his Walther PPK, and a bad guy came in to rob the place. The jeweler shot the bad guy and hit him in the upper arm with the 380 Glaser and just about tore his arm off his body. I have personally used Glaser's in 38 special, in a self defense situation and fired one round at my assailant, hit center chest, assailant was down and dead. That is all I carry in my self defense weapons, especially my five shot 38. If all I have is five shots, I want to make sure they are the best five rounds I can have! I have used them in a 45 auto as well and they did reliably cycle the action. 0
