New Review: September 1998
By Chris A. Choat
NEW GENERATION AMMO FROM CENTURY INTERNATIONAL
A new line of pistol ammo is now available from Century International. The high tech self defense rounds are loaded with the new “Sentry” bullet. These projectiles are based on a solid copper slug which is nickel plated to reduce barrel friction. The projectile looks like a wadcutter with a post in the center. A plastic cap is fitted on the tip of the slug to ensure reliable feeding in self-loading firearms. Because of the makeup of the slugs they offer no core-jacket separation in hard or soft targets, no ricochets when hitting hard objects like windshields even at sharp angles, virtually 100% weight retention in tissue and excellent expansion (.50” for 9mm). The ammo is currently available in .380 acp, 9mm, .38 Special, .357 Mag., .40 S&W, .45 acp and .44 Mag.. The new projectiles will not penetrate bullet-proof vests.
