I was just at Wal-Mart and found some Federal Premium Personal Defense .410 HANDGUN ammunition
The box reads .410ga.Handgun 2-1/2" Buckshot 4 pellets-000Buck
Muzzle velocity 1200fps! Personal Defense
I cut one open, inside are 4 pellets of approx. .375" dia. copper clad balls.
Does anyone know, Did they generate that muzzle velocity from a HANDGUN barrel?
I've seen these kind of speeds out of a full length barrel, but a handgun barrel?
BTW, $11.?? for a box of 20 rounds, with high-brass cases!

This is also being eyeballed on the federal level. In the full text if adopted, will limit you to 50 rounds of ammo per month regardless of Cal. if it fits into a hand gun. (CA)...
sorry, theres NO government conspiracy on this one.
Lets just say I told you so- the legislation is a blanket coverall.

Lets just say I told you so-
so you think federal ammunition is in on the conspiracy[:0]
just because the idiots in the government are trying to pass another stupid @ss law does not mean the same thing as federal ammunition seeing an open niche in a growing market and specifically making .410 for handgun.

shootuadeal- your post is 100% valid its the labeling of the ammo that's under legislation The feds are looking at a blanket.
you do know most handgun powder is shot gun powder
yes most are interchangable. i guess i should have phrased it that federal "tuned" the ammunition for use in shorter barrels. sorry for the confusion.
AB 962 directs all handgun ammunition vendors statewide to keep records of ammunition sales and make them available to law enforcement. The bill also requires handgun ammunition sales to be conducted in face-to-face transactions to avoid sales to minors and limit the ability of criminals to make untraceable ammunition purchases. Additionally, the bill closes a dangerous loophole in the law by prohibiting the sale of ammunition to criminals and gang members subject to a gang injunction. AB 962 also requires handgun ammunition vendors to be licensed by the Department of Justice, for employees that handle such ammunition to clear a criminal background check, and for ammunition to be safely stored like cigarettes and certain cold medicines.
