Your Questions Answered
Is this ammo suitable for everyday carry (EDC)?
Yes, the 124-grain XTP is a top-tier defensive projectile. However, our staff recommends firing at least 50 rounds through your specific firearm to verify flawless function and point of impact before relying on it for carry. +P ammunition can behave differently than standard pressure rounds.
What does “+P” mean and is it safe in my gun?
“+P” denotes ammunition loaded to higher internal pressure than standard rounds, resulting in increased velocity. It is safe to fire in modern firearms rated for +P or +P+ 9mm ammunition. Consult your owner’s manual. It is not recommended for older or alloy-framed pistols not designed for the increased stress.
How does the XTP bullet perform compared to other JHPs?
The XTP is designed for maximum weight retention and controlled expansion across a wide velocity range. It is less prone to over-expansion and fragmentation than some ultra-modern designs, making it an excellent choice for penetrating heavy clothing or intermediate barriers while still delivering effective terminal performance.
