Yeah. We have one case that is completely irrelevant to use of reloads in a defensive situation, and another "mystery" case we have no details on. Sorry, not buying it.

A couple years back Ayoob was involved in a long piss-fight type thread on the smith-wessonforum. He was defending Marshall and Sanow, which is itself irrelevant, but his arguments and demeanor were less than impressive to me for someone supposed to be a font of wisdom. His name alone, which is essentially all that we have been presented with here, isn't enough to convince me.


Forget Ayoob, it's the lawyer's statement I quoted concerning forensic evidence that's carrying the water here. There is absolutely demonstrable court precedence that handloads can badly muddy the water in the forensic dept of reconstructing a shooting. If that evidence would have proven exculpatory wouldn't it be best to have it on the firmest ground possible?

Setting aside the actual "likelihood" of it being an issue it's simply not possible to rationally dismiss the fact there IS a risk associated with handloads over factory IF forensic reconstruction of a shooting matters.

If there's one thing I've become certain of it's that there's too much certainty in the world.
