In the early 1990s, I discovered that many of the rounds, which had previously functioned 100%, now failed to detonate. I notified a friend who also had a number of these rounds, gunwriter Stan Crist, and he discovered that the same thing happened, and detailed it in a 1989 issue of Special Weapons for Military and Police magazine. So I would not be too excited about these modernized version of the Geco Safety Slug as I would expect modern hollowpoints to perform better.
