I forgot to add that I was not aware that the FBI tested the Glaser rounds. given their odd standards of necessary penetration and all that, I figured they would stay away from Glasers as a matter of course. I personally see Glasers as a scenario-specific load, useful in areas where pass-through must not occur (nuclear power plants for example).
Is that study posted anywhere? I'd be interested in seeing it and what conclusions it came to. I'd hate to think that I was parroting hype about the Glasers after giving someone hell for parroting hype about .40s&w.
