I got a chance to study the package information. I feel a lot better, as it is a lot closer to what I originally thought. They recommend Blues for warmer climate and silver for better penetration of heavy clothing in colder climates. Among other things, they claim increased stopping power, ricochet minimized, reduced recoil and over-penetration minimized. Just what I am looking for.
They also claim "complete dispersal of bullet energy into the intended target with immediate shock and trauma." That's important! Should help keep required number of shots to a minimum. Better for all concerned, including the bad guy. For the bad guy, if you can stop him in one or two shots, rather than three or four, he has a better chance of serving time. For everybody else, the less metal there is whizzing around, the better.
I would still follow standard safety rules. Hope it performs as advertised, but would not bet the farm on that.
