Talons?
Deffinately as a carry.
I have a small collection of 9mm, 10mm and .45ACP Talons, or actually, the re-named Talons, the L.E. Ranger.
I keep them in carry mode at all times and i can get them relatively cheap - Originals with black box with 20 rounds about25-30 bucks, OR the Rangers, in a brown box of 50 for 20 bucks.
I trust them, have used them to dispatch injured animals and have had no failure with a one shot kill or any failed expansions.
Legality issues can occur, but if you, as a citizen, perform all the steps needed BEFORE squeezing a trigger, as in difusing the situation by never having been there, escape from a potential escalation of a situation or attackers, do not escalate or be the aggressor etc, odds are, you will never have to fire a shot.
When the odds come true and you or I must, many good defense lawyers are up to speed on ballistics, know which experts to have as witnesses and if you do not lie about the events and you are in the legal right, then chances are good that you will not do any time behind bars, except for the initial investigatory arrest.
Sure, the ADA states that the Talons are evil as they do cause quite an expansion and trauma chamber when in comparison to standard munitions, but in direct comparison between actual shootings with and without Talons, the Talons actually caused less damage over all as only requiring one or two 'hits' to be effective, verses in many cases, using other types of munitions, many more 'hits' to obtain the same desired effect, which is ending the fight.
