Hollowpoint ammunition photos

Recommended Posts

Mrs Wombat's EMP 9mm doesn't seem to like Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P so we've got a few different HPs to try during our next range visit. In case anyone is interested I've posted photos below. I'll provide an update once we next get back from the range.

 

Left to right in 9mm

  • Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P
  • Corbon 125gr +P
  • Hornady Critical Duty 135gr +P
  • Winchester Ranger Talon 124gr +P
  • Federal HST 124gr +P
  • Black Hills 115gr+P
  • Speer Gold Dot .45 ACP for comparison

Just from looking at the rounds I'd say the Hornady Critical Duty seems the most tapered (i.e. likely to feed most like a FMJ) with the CorBon being the least tapered (i.e. least like a FMJ) and the remaining HPs seeming to be much the same (somewhere in between the other two). At least from a visual inspection.

      Amerigeddon - New movie in some theaters starting tomorrow..
       
      Strong support for 2nd amendment and right to bear arms.

      About a massive EMP  terrorist attack taking out the power grid, internet, phones, banking
      Civil war erupts are marshal law declared and gun confiscation takes place....
      Sounds like a great movie for every NRA supporter to watch in your theater.

      As mention in this thread on changing MrsWombat's EMP to a single sided safety she has had some issues with HollowPoints on her 9mm EMP. As the this is no longer about the safety I've started a new thread.
       
      Out of the 133 Hollow Points she tried to shoot at the weekend she had over 110 Failure to Feeds and/or Light Primer Strikes. This was after 724 rounds of FMJ over the last 8 or so months without issue.
       
      We tried a variety of Hollow Points including:
      Speer Gold Dot 9mm: 124gr +P Hollow Point Short Barrel (23611)
      Federal LE Tactical 9mm Luger: 124gr +P HST (P9HST3)
      Federal LE Tactical 9mm Luger: 124gr +P EFMJ (P9CSP1)
      Winchester Ranger Talon 9mm Luger: 124gr +P HP (RA9124TP)
      Black Hills 9mm: 115gr +P Tac-XP (D9N10)
      Corbon 9mm Luger: 125gr +P JHP (SD09125)
      Hornady Critical Duty 9mm Luger: 135gr +P FlexLock (90226)

      I sent an email to Springfield Armory Warranty on Monday 3rd September evening (Labor Day), by 10:11am on the Tuesday I had a response from Springfield Armory seeking to clarify a couple of points and our contact details and by 10:27 I had received a FEDEX shipping label to return the EMP to Springfield Armory to investigate and resolve the issue.
       
      I have to say I am very impressed. Compare to my Sig issue I have to give Springfield Armory an A+ for customer service response (so far) compared to the D- for Sig.
       
      Will post an update once we receive the EMP back.

      I'm looking to switch the ambi-safety on MrsWombat's EMP to a single-sided safety.
       
      I've never done this before and am new to 1911s. Does anyone have experience on changing 1911 style safeties and how difficult is it? I'd probably use an Ed Brown safety however have read that you need to spend about an hour filing away on the safety? I was thinking of trying it, however another option would be to find a gunsmith.
       
      Otherwise any recommendations on a gun-smith within 45 minutes of the Secaucus, NJ area?
       
      thanks

    • You’re right.  It’s totally the pedestrians fault for being pedestrians on a pedestrian-only road.  They definitely should have moved to the gravel so that the illegally-driven ATV could safely illegally drive.      The reason there was no time to stop is because of the speed of the illegally driven ATV.     The legally walking pedestrians were in less danger with the mass of the car in between them and the illegally driven ATV.     Sure, he could have set up further back but then the pedestrians would not have been behind him.  Hard to protect pedestrians from the ATV when they’re both in front of you.    And how do you know his emergency lights were off?
    • It's physically a 2 lane road where there was plenty of room to avoid the pedestrians. Including the "parent and child" that were literally on the roads edge. The camera is a fisheye, and the ATV was much closer than it looked coming around the curve and there was no time to stop. The cop caused the crash and injury while further endangering pedestrians. This could have been handled differently, without injury. E.g. He could have set up further back and turned his lights and sirens on and gave the ATV time to stop. Again, illegally riding an ATV is a fineable offense, that's it. Does not justify lethal force by auto.  I hope he sues and wins. 
    • It's not really a road. It's supposed to just be open to pedestrian traffic. "Farnum Drive has been open to just pedestrian traffic since 2020. A large number of people, including families with children, were in the area." Voy beat me to it.
    • Thanks for this.  It wasn’t clear from the video that it is a pedestrian path.  It looked like a dual use back road.   It wasn’t a street.  It is a paved pedestrian path.  There is no expectation by those using it of any vehicles. What would a cop be expected to do if a dirt bike was careening down a busy sidewalk in the city?   Second, the police car had stopped.  Any force in this equation LITERALLY came from the ATV.
