Nope , if I remember right the Teflon's are still around 30-40% stronger. And it's actual the Teflon tip it's self that retains 80% of it's shape for penatration. Cor-bon's are still going to pack a heck of a punch against a vest, with maybe partial penatration in the closer ranges. We didn't test against any vests, but the manufacture is required to test with the ATF present during a new introduction of a bullet.

Re:Handgun Help

http://www.gssfonline.com/hot_topics/framerails.htm<br><br>1st Paragraph<br><br>The GLOCK Corporation has identified an issue with a very small percentage of GLOCK pistols produced between September of 2001 and May of 2002. The specific issue that has been identified is the potential of breaking a rear frame rail in pistols manufactured during this time period. Within the specific range the breakage rate has been less than 0.0188%. So, while the actual percentage of rails reported broken is within any accepted manufacturing tolerance, it is not an acceptable situation to the GLOCK Corporation. It is also important to note that under most conditions GLOCK pistols will continue to function with three rails. A routine maintenance check after each time the pistol has been taken out and used would immediately indicate if there is a problem.<br><br>

Re:Handgun Help

Oh yeah....I knew about that. Not really a big deal to me with the low percentage of that actually happening. I'm not even sure if mine falls in that range, but I think it does.
