Why does the gov’t need hollow point ammo for target practice and qualifying tests?
They train with what they duty carry. Back when they caried 357s the DOJ tried to save money by only purchasing 38 wad cutters for quals and proficiency. At then end of the qual they would give you 5 actual 357 rounds to shoot.
Needles to say the performance of the 38 wad cutters vs the 357 was completely different rendering the qualifications useless.
