Just a thought for you all
Have you ever noticed that we never discuss the "Reason" for any of the other point designs
Perhaps it has no more meaning then the rest
And if you simply go back though the pics on this thread let alone the rest of the forum you will find a type/design of "Hollow Point" that disproves every "Theory"

Wasn't the Barber's notched designed to shave nose hairs? They have that in common with the spike points?

One must wonder how large men's noses were when a 9/8 has a "barber's notch" if it was meant to shave nose hair.

My theory is that is that it all had to do with naval architecture and the design of ships bows.

[QUOTE=WW243;1511186][CENTER]I think while we are on this thread, we should ask ourselves why we (US) put the fins on the 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville?
For looks of course! As I mentioned before, I'd love to live in Arizona again for one of many reasons, you see old vehicles there roaming the streets since nothing rusts there because it is so dry. I recognized the license plate.

I read once that with the space race going on, it was popular to try and give things a more 'futuristic' design. The fins were part of motif that was supposed to make the car look like it could fly (or more like a spaceship anyway). Thanks for keeping me on topic! Originally Posted by WW243
