Glaser Silver 40 S&W 115 Grain Round Nose Md: 03200
Glaser safety slugs were invented to give superior stopping power over conventional bullets. Glaser blue uses a #12 shot core of over 220 fragments for maximum ricochet and overpenetration. Glaser silver uses a #6 core of 31 fragments to penetrate 50 % deeper. Both blue and silver have the same bullet weights, velocity and muzzle energy in a given caliber.

Designed by Winchester and introduced by Winchester and Smith & Wesson in 1990, the 40 S&W was designed as a "compromise" semiautomatic pistol cartridge that would offer more performance than the 9mm Luger (9x19)…but would produce less recoil and allow higher magazine capacity than the 45 ACP. Few compromises in the firearms world have ever worked as well. From a manufacturing standpoint many pistols designed for the 9mm could be re-engineered to handle the larger cartridge; in a short time it has become a standard issue in the law enforcement community. Using a .400-inch bullet of from 135 to 180 grains from a .850-inch cae, the .40 S&W produces up to 1205 fps, and although recoil is greater than the 9mm, it is easier to shoot than the 45 ACP, and its greater velocity and smaller bullet diameter aid penetration. — Craig Boddington
