Definitely doesn't seem to perform like ammo over $2/rd should. Looks like more gimmick ammo to me.

I'll stick with Ranger/HST/Critical Duty/Gold Dot and the like.

I have been seeing this everywhere now... Is it just me or I thought any bullets designed to fragment inside the body were outlawed by one of the Geneva Conventions... same with non metallic designed to elude detection?

Do you make your own gel, or use water jugs, or soaked phone books etc?
I have some 9mm HST's if you would like to do some comparison testing?
