I thought that the efficacy of the Glaser safety slug was disproven 15 years
ago or so?  All marketing and no stopping power?

I have used an HK .45 before but find that any .45 is just too large and
heavy to carry on a regular basis.  How is the HK .40?  My main weapon is a
Glock 40 cal. with a Walther PPK-S for an occasional backup.  My load in
each is either Glaser safety slugs or Black Talons.  Have a stash of each
since I don't believe either have been legal for sale for a while!

Beretta I used to carry, even if it is still in that supremely useless 9mm
ball load that the military shackles us with. When off-duty I carry H&K USP
.40 (with Federal Hydra-Shok loads... screw that FMJ ball crap) that I love;
that thing is an absolute tack driver, always spot on, haven't had a single
misfeed or stoppage in any way, shape, or form. Spent some time in Iraq
running around with an MP5; other than the fact it was a 9mm, that baby was
damned-near perfect.  I used to have a USP .45 Compact that I sold to a
buddy before I deployed, now I'm doing everything in my power trying to
convince him to sell it back to me.  I tried offering my first-born, but he
said he doesn't want to wait that long until he can cash in on whatever I
trade him.  Bastard.
