Whats the deal with Tactical?

I was in the gun shop yesterday and a clean cut btight looking young man came in and browsed a minute then ask one of the employee's for a box of those Federal Tactical Hydra Shoks for a 9MM. The employee handed him a box of Federal Premium Hydra Shok ammo. He looked at the box briefly and said no I want the Tactical ones? The employee who I know well ask me if I had heard of them? My reply was no but I told the young man for self defense those were fine. No he insisted on those Tactical rounds. I said I bet he's talking about Hornady's Tactical Application Police ammo? He did not have any so the young man ask if we knew anyone else who carried tactical ammo. Whats the deal? If something say's tactical some have to have it,does it make them feel more secure? Maybe I should order one of those tactical ink pens, mine only has a regular light to aid in writeing at night! Of course that is if I can find one?[;)]

How am I doing guys, I'm learning aren't I? Don't I make you guys proud?[:D][:D][:D]
Yeah, He want's tactical. Thinking he's getting the most power, but he shoots a 9mm. Give me a plain jane 45 over his tactical 9mm anyday.

Gees I wish you old fart's would get on the ball here! [:D][:D][:D]
I spoze picking up 50 rds of white box and writing "TACTICAL" on it then tripling the price probably would've lost the customer too.

just because it is black or heavy doesn't mean it's tactical. It earns that designation through very extensive and hard testing. Few of the products that carry that name are actually capable of passing the tests by military personel. Nightforce,..Mcmillan, Leupold MK IV, Badger ordnance, IOR, are a few that HAVE BEEN tested and earned the tactical designation. If it won't take an artillery impact within close proximity and still maintain it's original setting, it FAILS.
it's still not for sale![:D][:D][:D]

I'm waiting on the tactical elmo....last year's overused word was X-treme....now there's an X-treme Elmo. Maybe soon I will see the Tactical Elmo I so dream will come to be.
Would he hae a necklace made out of Bert and Erny's ears?
Doesn't the TAP stuff frang apart easier?

Jim, Yes- Like Hornadys .308 TAP ammo. It carrys a Hornady A-max bullet
Great for target shooting beacuse of the High BC. but as you mentioned the frag part as well.
BTW How the hell are ya![:)]
