On frangible ammunition from a trainer in a major metro PD:

"Local politicians insist that we use "Clean-Fire" ammunition for training. It screws up our pistols (Glock 9mm) by the numbers! We hate it."

My comment: That has pretty much been my experience with this stuff. There is no non-lead and/or frangible ammunition right now that I recommend.

... and, the latest from South Africa:

"Our Minister of Justice (equivalent of your Attorney General), Mr Steve Tswete, has just been sentenced to thirty days in jail! It seems he was supposed to be in court for a civil case, but failed to show up. The judge sentenced him for contempt of court! Here, even the person supposedly in charge pays no attention to the rules."

I know a certain ex-president who would feel right at home there!
