Black Talon 10mm rounds

[Kenk]

Absolutely

Cop killer bullets?  Never heard that one.. My LE agency I worked for (10Ksworn) we were told that the black community did not like the round as they were black for shooting black people.  When the change came to the ranger SXT we were told SXT  meant same exact thing.

Not doubting you in the slightest Aegis. 
Forgot to mention; couple of wackjobs used them in high profile shootings in the early 90's.  MSM did the rest.

Here is a little more on the general topic.

I?ve shot some .45 ACP  Ranger T Series (the Talon replacement) into water jugs, and seem as, if not more nasty than the original Talons

SW had factory ammo called Nyclad particular in 38 SPC and 357 Mag
It was a coated with Nyclad SWCHP lead bullet. That is what the controversy was about bullet coating and vest. The Black Talon was the wound damage caused massive hemorrhage blood loss because of the bullet design. Even today no bullet is similar to the black talon design. This caused surgeons headaches in the inter cities Emergency Rooms trying to treat patients. The wound damage was intensive. Since most of the victims were Black inter city and the bullets were called Black Talon the industry especially Olin was forced to change the bullet designed to be less destructive to tissue and rename it. This bullet was perhaps one of the most deadly bullets offered by the ammunition industry.

This may very well be true, but the Ranger T is equally as nasty from what I can tell. Not sure how a bullet design can be too lethal, considering that?s the whole point
