    I read it as he's been shooting the .45 since the 70s, and elected to let it slide on the HST part instead of busting his chops...
    I'm sure it's just poking fun at this point so lighten up Francis

    Tokarev, there's a chapter in Marshall & Sanow's 1996 book, Street Stoppers, that describes the development and production of Hydra-Shok, Starfire, and Quik-Shok. It's written by Tom Burczynski, who invented them. And maybe I was wrong about when Federal acquired the rights to Hydra-shok; Burczynski says it was 1987, not 1988 as I had said in my previous post. He says he invented Hydra-Shok in the "mid 70s", and Starfire in the "1970s", but didn't do any development work on the latter until the 1980s. He says they share a design concept, but it's not clear from my reading which one was originally invented first.

    My shooting log says I've been shooting P9HST2, the standard pressure 147 grain 9mm load, since at least Dcember, 2005, and it's been my near-exclusive carry load at least since 2006. I see no reason to switch, as it seems to work very well when tested against the FBI and IWBA standards and in actual shootings, is reasonably priced, is accurate in my guns, exhibits excellent functional reliability, and is usually available. I'm just an armed citizen, but if I had to shoot through auto windshields on a regular basis, I might reconsider my choice.

    Thanks for the history lesson.

    I have a copy of Street Stoppers somewhere.

    “The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
