[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 947565, member: 684"] Anybody remember these? [b][Broken External Image][/b] Or better yet...does anybody still [B]USE[/B] these? :respect: Back in the hey-days of law enforcement, the Winchester Silvertip was [B][U]THE[/U][/B] ammo amongst cops. Everybody used them. Mostly, we all carried a .38 Special or a .357 Magnum, but [I]occasionally[/I], usually the OHP Troopers, carried something bigger...like the .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum and every now and then, you would see a Smith & Wesson model 25 in .45LC. But the one common denominator amongst us, was the Winchester Silvertip. No matter what caliber, we all used the Silvertips for our carry ammo. They looked good in a 12 round loop and they were the perfect weight at 145 grains. Of course, we didn't know about hotter ammo beating up our revolvers, but we knew that it was easier to qualify with .38 Specials than it was with full-house Magnums. ;) Then, we started discovering rounds like the Federal Hydra-Shok and the baddest of bad boys, the Winchester Black Talon. I also remember totin' PMC Starfires for a bit. Does anybody carry the Winchester Silvertips in their sixguns anymore? Is there any place local that I can pick up a box or two? Or do I hafta special order some? [/QUOTE]
