Hi
Does anyone know if you are allowed to Carry black talons, and if so where you can get them or anything of its equivalent?

**SSP** · 10-07-2009, 10:17

Yes you can, despite what gunshop commandos and some cops will tell you. They are not illegal.

They are not, however, available.

What calibre are you looking for?

Hey thanx for the reply.

I am looking for 9mm... any ideas, maybe someone on this site has a truck load sitting somewhere and wants to share?

Dude, 9mm is a diameter not a calibre. 9mm luger or kurz?

If luger then look at 147gr Golden Sabres. I think Camdix has.

If kurz, look at ball.

Highly unlikely you'll come across any, however check with Dave Sheer, they managed to bring in a box of 50 147gr Ranger SXT's in 9x19 about a month ago, but they were going at R20/round.
Personally, I wouldn't bother, wait for Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P to come in, much better round esp. against 'harder' targets, such as windscreens.

I managed to get 40 or so a month back from a mate, but he doesn't have any more.

If its .380ACP, then PM HotDawg or call Southern Arms, he had one box of 95gr Ranger SXT's left when I was last there.

Like I said above, try Dave Sheer if you're prepared to pay R20/round.

there's nowwhere to bring them in from. they're probably selling you stuff which was handed in.

there's better stuff on the market and they're cheaper than R20 per round.

Darryn, browse through the AMMUNITION section on this forum. there's loads of info on black talons. when i posted a thread Brendank posted some invaluable info on the product.
