HPD 9mm service ammo?
« on: April 12, 2019, 09:45:07 AM »
Can someone confirm that HPD is changing service pistol ammo to Federal ?
If so, I need the stock number and/or a few sample rounds to dissect for my next project.
What, Me Worry?

Macsak said their shipment was on the way in a another thread.

Wonder what they're gonna do with all that excess GD.

===========
 Oh man that still infuriates me. To think that some idiot police chief can just waste a half million of my tax money like that.
 My only consolation is when I see Kealoha on the news walking to the courthouse with his crooked wife. :rofl:
I believe in karma.

 :stopjack:
I spoke to a friend at the Waipahu academy about this but he has not heard about it.
He did say he just got his allocation of speer GD last month though.

 Maybe it never happened.
 Did we ever find out where the money to pay for Kealoha's golden parachute came from?
 It was a quarter million, right?

According to the pdf that zip provided, federal ammo is already approved for use.
I was trying to focus on the specific federal tactical bonded flavor.
Federal makes a LE 9mm tactical bonded  ammo in 124 gr and 135 gr.
I was thinking that HPD wanted to change to the 135gr. Flavor.
What, Me Worry?

Just curious, why the interest in the specific load?

Nothing sinister...
I've been doing HPD simulation ammo for about 25 years.
It's useful if you want to use the HPD issue ammo for a home defense gun.
It lets you practice and vet your home defense firearm without spending a small fortune.

Makes sense. I always figured that if I buy the same bullets they use then  in theory I should know them to be an effective bullet. Thats actually why I buy Gold Dot for anything defensive.

Now even I hadn't thought of that, and I am a real cynic.
