Microgunner Posted March 10, 2013 Report 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.
Microgunner Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Posted March 10, 2013 Does he have a 40 S&W?Don't know, I'll ask next time I see him.
Robocop1051 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 $100 for BT??? Tell him I have some LE Ranger-T that smokes the old BT stuff. That's all I'll carry any more.
MONTANA308 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Gotta love the rangers all I run in my 45
Robocop1051 Posted March 10, 2013 Report 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.
MONTANA308 Posted March 10, 2013 Report 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.
StainTrain Posted March 10, 2013 Report 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.
MikedaddyH Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 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.Sometimes you just cant fix stupid ! They made up their mind before you said the first word.Win Ranger ammo is the $h!t. Rem Golden Saber ,Hornady XTP are also killers !
StainTrain Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Amen brother. Ranger T for the .40 and Golden Saber for the .45.
Microgunner Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Posted March 10, 2013 Yep, all true, but the Black Talon owns the legend and that's all this guy wanted to know.
StainTrain Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 My hat is off to you. That was a good sale. <thumbsup>

Microgunner Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report 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

We expected the BG's head to pop off. ;D and take out 3 of his family members within a 50 mile radius. I think the hype would have died down if they had a white version "Cracker Talon" available. The smart name would have been simply to call them "Perp" . I carry a C&L 1911 loaded with "Perp Rounds"

planeflyer21 Posted March 11, 2013 Report 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
