Hollow points make a lot of sense. Better to down a large deer instantly, than have a high velocity round pass through the body and find a second home.
But if you are talking handguns, then I do agree with you.

Hollowpoints won’t go through the guy who is trying to kill you in one room, into another room & potentially hit someone else.
Chas, You obviously have no idea, of the application, checks etc that are carried out in G.B. to obtain a Sect 1 Firearm, if you did, your opinion may change. The way you have worded your reply, would make it appear that the issuing of firearms has been totally banned, rubbish, pass all the checks, and enquiries, and you will get your handgun, or rifle.You are most likely to get a handgun, if you have been a member of a gun club, for about a year, used the club owned guns. Then I forsee no problems in the issuing of your OWN weapon.
Just speaking from experience, that’s all 🙂

Bit of a pisser then if you need to defend yourself RIGHT NOW & having to ask the perp to please wait a year to give you a fighting chance…

For a newbie owning a project and working as a volunteer in a restoration facility, this is a great document, thanks for the link 🙂
Ya have a copy of AC43-13?
I think that might be Ed Rasmus on the top right?
So why did the customer NEED all these weapons, many of which he openly stated he had had for years, but had never fired them?.

It’s not about need, it’s about the collecting hobby. Your question makes as much sense as asking me why I need more than one bench vise (or even why I have more than one 13mm spanner) or why a philatelist needs more than one stamp.

Princess Liz is also the first (only?) P51 that Ed Schmued flew in, shortly after Pete Regina put it together.
