Ineffective is a bad word. Before Glaser, court baliffs and others expecting
to engage dangerous criminals but avoid "collateral damage" in a crowded
courtroom, et cetera, handloaded .38 cal HBWCs upside down to create a super
hollow point that hit hard but didn't come out the other side a la Fearless
Fosdick to kill the judge or jurors. The Glaser "Safety" round does that
even better, making it a good choice in a home or apartment where one would
prefer not to penetrate walls. However, being designed NOT to penetrate
far, it cannot produce a deep deadly wound channel nor penetrate a magazine,
car window or much else without loosing knock-down capability. It is very
effective at what it was designed to do but there are far more deadly
general purpose bullets available.

Once again Vito, you manage to conceal a tiny grain of truth in a load
of twaddle.

Glaser slugs are designed for higher velocity, thus more energy, and to
shed that energy almost immediately into the target. The result is a
tremendous wound channel, very deadly. The little thing you got right is
that they are not designed to penetrate windows, doors, etc etc.
