Law enforcement ammo?

Is it Black Hills or Black Talon....Well, I can't remember. But the one that is almost exclusively used by law-enforcement...what makes that kind of ammo so special? And expensive?

It is a hollowpoint and no better or different than the rest.
Winchester limits it to LEO due to the publicity they received.
When people are told they can't have something,they decide they need it more and will pay more.

Black Talon is or was a trade name of Winchester. The blk talon had a nickle case and blk annodized bullet. The new Ranger SXT uses a brass case, and copper jacketed bullet but is essentially the same bullet as the Blk Talon, only a different color.
My dept used the Talon until it was no longer available. It performed well. We then switched to the SXT ( Supreme Expansion Technology) ammo which is just as good.
As mentioned above, the only reason Black Talon is soooo expensive is because its called Blk Talon, and comes in that spiffy blk box, and you cant get it anymore.
