You guys beat me to it. I was just going to post these two videos. I think they pretty much dispel most of the claims for the RIP bullet. I carry HST in my .45s.

Yeah, right.

This kind of marketing always bugs me. I don't know if this Liberty Digest has a good reputation or not, but it bothers me when writers or bloggers or whatever they call themselves just post whatever they're paid to post for merchandise with only advertising gains in mind. Whether he was paid for it or got a couple boxes in the mail and wants to make sure the free stuff keeps coming, I don't see any proof of this mad rush to by this product like tweens running and screaming to by concert tickets. Maybe it works on some people, I guess.

Oh well, that's all I have time to say for now. I feel bad for the weak-minded consumers who rush to buy stuff just cuz the TV or Youtube told them to. I'm in a hurry...The new Glock 42's are in, I got to go pick one up! :lol::
This is why I don't waste my money on other gun magazines (American Rifleman excepted). My go-to magazine is Gun-Tests, and they accept no advertising. They purchase everything they test from actual retail outlets so that pricing will be realistic, and they aren't beholden to the manufacturers. They have no sacred cows or shibboleths other than an absolute adherence to the full expression of the 2nd Amendment.
