The company was founded in 1975, the same year as the Glaser Safety Slug was developed by Jack Canon and Armin Glaser. The current bullet has a core of very tightly packed lead pellets. On impact the bullet fractures along manufactured stress lines in the jacket - imparting all the bullet's force very quickly rather than over-penetrating a target or ricocheting on a miss. The bullet is lighter than a conventional round, relying on a high muzzle velocity to produce energy. Suitable for short-range firing against unprotected targets, the bullet design can produce large shallow wounds in flesh while failing to pass through structural barriers thicker than drywall or sheet metal. 1975 was a common year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1975 calendar). ... 0. ...

The original round was a hand-made hollow point bullet filled with No. 12 birdshot (0.05") in Teflon with a flat polymer cap. To improve ballistic performance a polymer ball tipped round was introduced in 1987 and the current compressed core form was first sold in 1988. The formation of the polymer was also changed in 1994 to improve fragmentation reliability. Hollow point bullet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia /**/ @import /skins-1. ...

The company produces bullets in around twenty calibers, from .25 to .45 for pistols and from .223 to .308 for rifles.

Compared to conventional ammunition the rounds are expensive. Because of their design some sources report that they are less accurate, that wounds vary greatly depending on impact angles, and that the bullet can lack the power to reliably cycle a semi-automatic pistol. A Semi-automatic (also known as Self-loading) pistol is a type of handheld firearm, a kind of pistol. ...
