I overheard some guy telling someone today

I overheard some guy telling someone today that hollow points damage your barrel, and wear it out prematurely because they start expanding in your barrel 😂😂😂😂, I have never read, or heard of such a thing, not to mention, it seems highly unlikely. Just wanted to tell him?I didn?t think so?Thoughts

I'd of had hard time keeping my mouth shut

Absolutely had a hard time not saying anything 😂

I would not have kept my mouth shut and probably would have told him he was a frikin idiot. There was a Gander Mountain employee who frequently gave false info to customers. I let him know what I thought. I would not let that guy help me period.

For sure, misinformation irritates me a great deal also

Unfortunately they do walk among us. It really makes you wonder where stuff like that gets started.

I want this guys name.  Altruistic reasons.  I just hate for him to have damaged guns, so I would offer to buy any that have been "destroyed" by these nasty hollow-point bullets expanding too soon.  At a discount of course since they are damaged.

That reminds me of a guy that used to work at a local Dunham's gun counter. He was very talkative and would pontificate about all things related to handguns. Unfortunately one of the things he would cite as a reason to believe his expertise was that he shot himself in the leg with a double action .357 while practicing his quick draw.....

I didn't hang around long enough to get any of the details.

Smart guy 😀

idiot

Was his name Barney?

I would have told him they do wear out the barrel due to armor-piercing hydrostatic shock.

Well Ken, I gotta say that tops any gun BS I have ever heard.
