Yea there are no indoor ranges around here so I have no use for it. I'd rather sell it and get some other type of ammo
 
I'd just sell or trade it. Not really useful for much, other than complying with certain range requirements.
 
That is what we use for live fire training. They set up two pieces of plywood kept apart by a 2x4 and they will go through the first and shatter on the second (.223). Don't get me wrong they will tear someone up. Some departments are using them to avoid collataral damage from shoot through events or misses from goingt through walls and hurting bystanders. We also use them on steel targets, less splash back. How many were you given?

I think they're a lovely idea for many situations.
After spending a lot of time figuring out the best - and affordable - defensive ammo for my .38spl, I know think that perhaps a box of frangibles would be the ticket for anything expected to deploy indoors as a civilian.
 
I agree, if you have a high velocity round you should use frangible in a house. Slower rounds like the .45 hollowpoint aren't a problem but the .357 Magnum or .357 Sig definately move fast enough to go through both sides of the sheetrock.
 
it's not really worth more? i'd just use it.

heavy subsonic slugs carry a lot of momentum and can penetrate quite a ways if they don't expand quickly. One layer of sheetrock isn't a lot of barrier to a normal slug. That's why I've selected soft lead hollowpoints, but if frangibles are available in .38spl+p, then maybe that would be a smart alternative.
 
I usually go about 20 min. I got a real cool patina on my 14 yesterday with lemon, a paper towel, mustard, and plastic wrap.
 
I'm headed to seattle for the weekend from the sticks (where I live) and taking my Wave, RAT-1 folder, BK24, and BK5. Really thinking I need a tweener on that list as well. BK16, BK17, or BK15? I have way too many knives making the choice of what to take or use very hard! A good problem to have I guess.... :D

Well, they don't have the almond ones in the vending machines. Did you get that Guyot light/lid?

Indeed! I thought I told ya thank you so much It's really awesome. Cameron thought I was silly how excited I was about it :P I've got a to do list of review threads to do. I'll get some sweet pics of it as soon as I can.
 
D2 D'eskabar has been cutting a lot of meat lately, and generally bathing in sauces, and ... no patina. looks just as lovely as the day it stepped out of the box.

now, maybe a salt water experience, or some acids might do it, but eh, don't care so much. it's simply surface detail subject to change. unlike say, damasteel, which is purty :>
