Q & A
Is this ammunition suitable for all 9mm handguns?
While most modern 9mm handguns are rated for +P ammunition, you should always consult your firearm’s manual to confirm it is safe to use. +P ammunition generates higher pressure and increased recoil. It is intended for defensive use, not prolonged target practice.
How does the XTP bullet perform compared to other JHPs?
The XTP is designed for controlled, reliable expansion and deep penetration. It is less prone to over-expansion or fragmentation than some ultra-high-performance defensive bullets, making it a consistent and predictable performer through various mediums. Its reputation is built on forensic reliability.
What is the main advantage of the 124-grain weight in +P?
The 124-grain projectile, driven at +P velocities, offers an excellent balance of recoil management, penetration depth, and expansion. It typically provides more consistent performance across different barrel lengths than lighter, faster bullets, which can be velocity-sensitive for reliable expansion.
