FTC stuff: I received nothing from Winchester for this post, I’m just printing a press release. Anyway, if you’ll recall a couple of weeks ago, the post from ENDOTactical that had the Winchester Ranger penetration/expansion diagram – the bonded rounds performed much better when fired through barriers than the non-bonded rounds. Introducing a .380 in the “bonded” format will provide another option for the literally hundreds of thousands of shooters that rely on the .380 for their defensive pistol.
And .45 Colt for all the Taurus Judge owners out there. Interesting.
I’d be happy to see .380 of any kind on the shelf!
Yeah, that .45 Colt looks cool. Every time I see one in gun stores I think about buying a Judge if for no other reason than to have a midsized revolver in .45 Colt.
I’m really more curious about the .45 Colt than the .380.
I work for winchester and those are both true! I work on the machines that load the stuff so any ?’s feel free
