Actually, that's not true. Several of the more vile members of the Warfare/Welfare state have tried to classify any round "AP" that could penetrate a IIIA vest.
Further, any actual AP ammo capable of being fired in a handgun is illegal; and the fact that the Thompson-Center Contender is chambered for both 7.62 Nato and 5.56 Nato is how those AP rounds are banned.
The projectiles were available as pulled pieces, but those went away a couple-three years ago; and the fedgov stopped selling any of them as surplus ammo.

I do recall now the T/C issue. I was not aware of a reclassification for AP.
Thanks.
Had a box of tungsten cored 7.62 bullets quite a few years ago. Took a while to figure out what they were. They weighed "funny".
I'm sure I threw them away, though.
