    Are any of you guys using these? I had him make mine custom for my AR-15 and it is really nice - Allows you to safely display a firearm, yet maintain fairly rapid access to it. At night, I take the trigger lock off for even faster access. This is my Youtube link that shows it a little better...

    Hornady Critical Defense 380ACP performance from my Ruger LCP - Not too shabby!

    Here is a photo of some nicely expanded Critical Defense rounds that were shot from my Ruger LCP. They were shot ~15 yards into a pool of water and did expand well. Next, I will try shooting through different materials, but this ammo is hard to find so I will be stingy about just shooting it...
