    Opinions?: rnp polycase arx interceptor

    rnp polycase arx interceptor are key words for searching on Polycase handgun ammo, on Google and on Youtube.

    Polycase homepage seems out of date, not showing their current offerings.


    Their ammo is cheaper than other companies.
    It is frangible, sold as being safe to use on steel plate.
    It is supposed to have better terminal effects than hardball.
    It is supposed however have lots of penetration.

    Based on youtube videos all of the above is true, but they have competition in this type of ammunition. At first Polycase was expensive, sold in boxes of 25. Now for not too much more it comes in normal size boxes of 50.

    One video shows a gal walking up to a steel plate shooting all the way, her last shot at the plate is I would say 24" away. She implies she would never dream of doing that stunt this using hardball.

    Videos (Youtube) show 11 to 14 inch penetration with 380 and a whole lots more with 9mm.

    None of the videos (from private users, I have seen about 7 on Youtube) showed any problems of feeding in their automatics. They all say they found it reliable.

    Polycase has brought out a few different versions recently, and none are exactly the same, so its hard to get a review that is about the exact product you may be considering to buy.

    Currently at LAX it is among the cheapest ammo available, only some import hardball is cheaper. In 380 it seems to sell various places for $12 to $14 for boxes of 50, maybe $12.75 being average.

    I forgot, it is also less recoil and slightly less noise (as the youtube videos show me), but still they all say it is reliable, without failures. Still it seems like aftermarket springs in guns might cause some failures for that reason of light recoil.

        I can attest to the fact that in my Glock 42, Sig P238 and Kimber Ultra III CPD 45, the ammo fed cleanly with no malfunctions. Recoil was noticeably lighter. Thank you for the info that they are now being sold in boxes of 50.
