...which he chose due to being the cheapest he could find ($65, I think). He called me up after the class, and excitedly told me about this really great ammo that his instructor swears by, called Extreme Shock (I'm not making this up). Turns out, the douchebag instructor was carrying a G30 loaded with Extreme Shock Fangface Anti-Terrorist rounds, and forced everyone to sit through a ten minute video presentation....during which lots of melons were shot, and a 500 lb wild boar was stopped dead in it's tracks by a single 9mm Extreme Shock round. I was driving at the time, and was laughing so hard at his story, I almost sideswiped the guy next to me. But, all humor aside, can a NRA instructor really get away with this sort of thing? |

That's good old-fashioned hilarious. Especially considering ammunition prices. Of course 9mm is my favorite for shooting. And to be fair, as insufferably stupid as their ads are, from a practical standpoint Extreme Shock really isn't that much worse than a lot of what's out there. Still, I don't think I could carry a box to the register with a straight face either. |

As long as we're at it, what's your 9mm ammo of choice? Furthermore .40, .44 etc., whatever you shoot. |

Gold Dot. I get it from Streicher's in 50 round boxes. Regards, Porkie |

No, I'm not justifying it. |

Sure, it's not against any law, but if it's an NRA class, might it be against NRA guidelines? |

If the ammo company doesn't have a Melon display video... I DON'T WANT IT! |

Post subject: | As to ammo . . . |
From what I've read, I'm of the opinion that the Federal EFMJ is an awfully good choice. |
