Black Talons aren't illegal (excepting some locales). Winchester did stop producing them due to overwhelming (and completely silly) media hype. They were making them under adifferent name with a very slight redesign and no evil black coating. May still be making them, haven't looked for 'em. XTP's or somesuch, for Extreme Terminal Performance. Basically the same bullet design overall.

As an aside, if you take someone's arm off with a .45ACP, it must not have been securely attached to begin with. It is not a particularly potent round, all things considered, just effective.
