Ammo maker supports families of fallen officers with special edition ammo

Federal Premium is giving back to those in blue by offering a special edition line of handgun ammunition to benefit Concerns of Police Survivors.

Packaged in a limited edition blue box, the full metal jackets will be available in three calibers — 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. A portion of the proceeds will go to C.O.P.S. The non-profit, founded in 1984, aids families of fallen police officers by offering a variety of services to include counseling, scholarship programs and special events.

It would be really great if this set an industry trend.

Think I'd just rather cut a check to C.O.P.S. directly. $18 for a 50 box of FMJ 9mm is pretty steep. Unless Federal is going to actually take $8 of that and send it to C.O.P.S.

Yeah; savvy folks like the P-F community, sure. I'm thinking of the buys boxes of ammo at their local sporting goods store public.

One of my little oddities is that I read a really disturbing article about an officer being murdered at a gas pump with Aguila FMJ and I just can't bring myself to buy Aguila anymore because I see my brother in that article. Very dumb. Not Aguila's fault.

I would enjoy if donating a buck to police causes was an option for a number of ammo brands, or if it was an option when buying at the register the same way you can donate a buck to the local food bank. Never gonna happen in the current anti-cop atmosphere, but it's a good thought.

Good on Federal.

has anyone asked Federal how much of the cost of a box goes to C.O.P.S.? I don't doubt they are donating, but as the phrase goes: Trust, but Verify.
