Just as an afterthought, Prox, if you did decide to go with the Laserlyte type cartridge for training, a paper plate or a cardboard cutout should suffice. A typical self-defense situation generally won't be a long range shot.

Make sure you familiarize yourself with your state's laws. I don't know if California has the "castle doctrine", but I'm almost positive they aren't a "stand your ground state".

If I go this route, for me, it has to be completely legal. I believe the only law I’ve rationalized breaking is what I participate in here.

Although, lol, our streets were empty yesterday. Hopped on the freeway and did an effortless 105 with my beast. It was truly built for speed. Hell, the steering wheel blocks my speedometer, I only go by feel, had to make an extra effort to see.

Absolutely, and I may be mistaken about the "stand your ground" law in California. I always review SC CWP and firearm regs and states with reciprocity annually.

If you go through your state's CCW class, they should definitely cover those bases thoroughly.

If overpenetration is your worry, Glaser safety slugs or other brands of frangible ammo may be your answer, but I'll defer to Beetlegeuse on that.

I've shot a few rounds of Glazers a few years after they first came out, but have never personally shot them into gelatin or say, 2 pieces of sheetrock separated by a stud to simulate a housing environment.

IF I recall correctly, Glazers were introduced as a means to neutralize a threat without risk of overpenetration?
