I'd like to see those...
Right-o Rich, copper-jacketed round nose!

I've never seen any in the flesh, but I heard Israeli commandos used them is suppressed, specially-configured Rugers up until the 70's. When pestered by guard dogs or inconvenienced by sentries... I have only seen pics.

Something tells me finding any is a very long shot.
