Microgunner Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I was talking with a guy at the shop yesterday and the conversation turned to ammunition when he showed me his new SIG Nightmare.I showed him my magazine loaded up with Black Talon .45ACP and he lit up. Asked if I had any more and I said "sure, maybe seven boxes at home".He immediately began begging me to sell him some and I told him "no, I can't replace it". Then he upped the antie by offering me $100 per box of twenty!!!Sold them to him today, too much money to refuse.I can't believe how much some folks are willing to pay for a box of ammo.I also have about ten boxes of .357 mag Black Talon and three or four boxes of .30-06 Black Talon at home.I'm glad I bought them all those years back now.

Robocop1051 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 The Ranger SXT is the same as the old Black Talon, minus being black. The Ranger T series is their upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONTANA308 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Got a bunch of both types in 45 and 40. 230 on my 45 and bunch of 185 for the 40 and 165. Nothing prettier then looking at all the nickel brass fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainTrain Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 The Ranger SXT is the same as the old Black Talon, minus being black. The Ranger T series is their upgrade.Very true, but every time I have tried to explain that to uninformed shooters I end up,walking away shaking my head at their hardheadedness. The 127 +p+ really does shame the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yep, all true, but the Black Talon owns the legend and that's all this guy wanted to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 My brother shot a guy with a Winchester Black Talon .45ACP right through the calfBroke his leg.Which is pretty mild considering the BT's reputation at the time. We expected the BG's head to pop off. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smart name would have been simply to call them "Perp" . I carry a C&L 1911 loaded with "Perp Rounds" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Just reintroduce "Black Talon" as "White-Collar Zombie Shredder" and make the jacket lime-green and it will be perfectly okay. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
