20rds – 380 Auto Glaser Blue 70gr. Safety Slug Ammo

Glaser Safety Slug 70 Grain Pre-Fragmented Ammo Details

Glaser developed the Safety Slug bullet back in 1974. It was initially intended for U.S. sky marshalls who might need to fire a handgun on an airplane, and needed added assurance that their bullets wouldn’t pierce their surroundings.

If you’ve ever seen the end of Goldfinger (where the villain gets sucked out of a broken plane window at 8,000 feet altitude), then you understand the nature of the sky marshalls’ concern.

How does this 380 ACP cartridge’s bullet reduce the risk of that outcome, as well as over-penetration of the threat/walls in all other circumstances? With its patented Safety Slug, of course!

This round’s bullet is comprised of three components: a copper-alloy jacket, a blue polymer cap that ensures smooth feeding in a semi-automatic before compressing inward on impact to initiate fragmentation, and #12 lead shot. The Safety Slug is thereby designed to reduce itself to small, shallow-penetrating pieces upon striking flesh or a hard surface, but also possesses the terminal ballistics requisite for neutralizing a threat.

Glaser Blue Safety Slug ammunition isn’t just suitable for defense on airplanes. It’s also marketed as being perfect for civilian defense in apartment buildings, courthouses, hospitals, and other sensitive locations where all due care must be taken to avoid over-penetration.
