The latest generation of Blazer ammunition provides blasts of 40 S&W power with the recoil and point-of-impact reduced to a safe level. Still a popular round for the general shooting population, Blazer ammunition helps build muscle memory skills which will serve you well in self-defense situations as well as your normal shooting routine. The loads are part of CCI 's Blazer brand and come in a variety of calibers, styles and bullet weights designed to meet the needs of self-defense or for training/development purposes. While designed for training and development, Blazer ammunition is also an excellent option for legitimate self-defense and competition uses. The ammunition is clean-burning, and the blazing power of the .40 S&W round is virtually eliminated through the use of the CCI patented Clean-Fire primer. This virtually eliminates airborne lead, barium and antimony at the firing point.
