re: #350 Dark_Falcon

The Hague Convention of 1899 did indeed outlaw the use of such ammo in war but it said nothing about non-military use of such ammo.

And while the 210-grain .45 ACP FMJ projectile you were hit with is indeed a powerful and deadly round, there are arguments favoring the RIP over it, those being that the lighter 9mm round produces less recoil and is both more comfortable to shoot and more controllable, and that the RIP (being entirely made of copper) does far less environmental damage than a lead round.

That a bullet is touted as an improvement because it causes less environmental damage …oh, irony.
