<<I haven't seen them in 9mm, but I haven't looked either. I have seen them for .357M pistols and all sorts of rifles.>> Oops, I seem to have some of those steel tipped bullets in 7mm mag. You say they're banned? I heard "cop killer" bullets were banned in '93. I see you don't know jack squat about bullet construction. Those steel tips push back into the lead to expand it in thicker walled bullets such as those used on Kodiak Bears and moose. No steel core leaves the bullet and there is no whip action. The tip does have a short rod but that is to keep it centered as the bullet expands. I have watched bullets go through car engine blocks but those were fired by special rifles shooting the awesome 50 caliber machine gun round. They didn't do it on the first shot either. The bullets that go through tanks are tungsten and uranium sabot rounds and are shot by tanks. To find what were called "cop killer" bullets you should have read the whole article posted earlier Message 14373554 instead of going off half cocked about steel tips.
