I know a now-retired police officer who had to shoot a bad guy he was trying to arrest on a robbery warrant, years ago. He was using the Glazers in his .38 Spec. The "bullet" hit the guy just to the right and a couple inches below his nipple. He told me the bad guy dropped his handgun and fell immediately. He died before the EMTs could get there.
That's the only case I know of their use in a self defense situation.
I have no idea how the "new" ones will perform.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know CorBon owned them now (do they or are they simply doing the loading this time?) and wasn't sure of their fate.
The Glaser has a polymer ball that constitues a significant amount of its weight with the shot loaded behind it in the enclosed jacket, and it opens up and releases it's shot once it makes contact with something, whereas the cci shot shells leave the barrel already opened and spreading the shot like a shotgun shell.What's the difference between these and the CCI shot shells that are listed for varmint control?
And why do they call the CB's "slugs"?
