Before it was know as Ranger, Black Talon was renamed to SXT, which was a black talon bullet without the black coating... less menacing I guess
It's rumored that "SXT" stood for "Same Exact Thing".
The shooting at the law offices at 101 California St. in San Francisco ushered in the beginning of the end of Gun Shops in San Francisco, as well as a spate of new gun control laws at the State level.
