    Go train indoors at the Sig Academy in NH. Frang is mandated on their indoor ranges. Look at the floor under the steel targets and you'll be shocked at how much dust from the bullets is on the floor. There had to be millions of rounds worth on the ground during the LE Low Light Instructor class I took. It was inches thick all over the floor.

      So they WILL penetrate soft barriers. Glass can slow them down, but they will go through standard interior house walls and such. They require something as hard as themselves or harder in order to pulverize into powder.

Perhaps a little to much overpenetration of some of the fragments, but far better than I would have suspected. That temporary wound cavity was pretty impressive though. Apparently, the Federal Air Marshals did use frangible ammo for a time, but switched back to hollowpoint ammo because studies showed that the risks of catastrophic depressurization on an aircraft had been greatly overestimated.

      These would pass straight through most likely. They only break up when hitting something as hard as themselves or harder, and soft tissue isn’t harder than compressed and sintered copper/tin.

      There are various weights, but they typically are going to be lighter than a comparable FMJ. velocities are a bit higher thanks to the lighter weight, and barrel wear is reduced because they’re lower pressure than heavier weight ammo.

      I was pretty sure and just did some research-syntech uses a polymer coating over a lead core and is not a true Frangible bullet. It will still send lead splatter out after it hits the target. I would not recommend shooting it up close for that reason. Unless there is a true Frangible offering in their syntech lineup that I’m missing, of course.

      @@thereloadingcraft it is. Though I probably should clarify that with the pistol in my wife's hands, the SinterFire ammo would stovepipe nearly every round, though in my hands, I could typically run a full mag without failure. Which indicates to me that a weaker grip (limp wrist) may be the actual issue & not 100% an ammo issue. Either way, the ammo does have to be reliable in a particular pistol WHILE in the hands of the person who will be carrying it.
      We took her G42 out to the range last week & put 8 different boxes of hollow point ammo through it so we would know before a potential GO GO GO.
      3 brands would either stovepipe or just wouldn't push the slide far enough to even engage the ejector, leaving the spent brass in the chamber. And those Federal HSTs... oof. Makes that G42 feel like a 38 spl J-Frame.
      What was surprising to me was that the ultra light Liberty Civil Defense rounds weren't much better in the perceived recoil department. Sig & Rem. did pretty well, but I was also disappointed with Hornady for having 3 : 20 feed hang issues.
      At any rate, more ammo ordered & in route for further testing.
      Afterwards I would likely be open to seeking out an alternate recoil spring assembly.

    • @thereloadingcraft
      @thereloadingcraft  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Definitely seems like a grip issue if it’s cycling perfect for you but not for her. Aside from seeing if she can improve her grip, I would recommend making sure all metal-on-metal components are well lubed (any excess friction retarding the slide travel speed can have compounding effects when in a weak grip) and if it’s still doing it then maybe check into recoil springs. The spring needs to be strong enough to reliably chamber even when it’s dirty, but light enough to allow the slide to go fully rearward when fired to extract and chamber the next round.

      The point of the standard flat point rounds is for training on steel where you won’t have ricochet hazards. For the defense HP loads, they will break apart when hitting concrete, block, steel, and asphalt although they will take chips out of those respective materials. They are also lead free, and can be shot indoors without lead exposure, provided you’re running the green line which has lead free primers as well.
