The hype about surgeons cutting themselves on sharp edges is mostly nonsense, and started by the Gun Control crowd. That surgeons stick their hands into wounds is true, but hopefully someone who has spent 4 years in college and 4 years in medical school plus Interned and done Fellowships, might just be a little bit careful, especially since hes digging around inside of trauma a patient. Yes Talons have sharp edges but so do pieces of auto glass, does that mean we shouldnt take accident victims to the ER. Last I checked IED's had sharp edges as well. This is the same "Ban the Bullet" nonsense that wont allow hollow point ammo in New Jersey even for out of state police. If youre that concerned tell the medics you shot the bad man with baaad bullets.
Sharp edges havent stopped the police from using Talons. Only bad publicity did that, so Winchester just changed the name to XTP and made the jacket copper coloured and the case brass. Maybe we should switch to "Pink Powder Puff" rounds. They could be the same exact loads as you carry right now but just marketed as P3's. Imagine your testimony, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I warned the suspect, 'Stop or I'll shoot you with my Pink Powder Puffs'. When he charged me I was forced to defend myself. Atleast they werent evil Black Talons."
