Your Questions Answered
Is this ammunition suitable for all 9mm pistols?
This +P ammunition is safe for use in modern firearms in good condition chambered for 9mm Luger +P. Always consult your owner’s manual. We had one return where a customer reported it was “too tight”; the issue was an aftermarket frame tolerance. It feeds reliably in OEM Glock, SIG, Smith & Wesson, and other major manufacturer pistols we’ve tested.
What is the advantage of a bonded hollow point?
Bonding the jacket to the lead core prevents the two components from separating upon impact, especially through intermediate barriers like heavy clothing or auto glass. This ensures the projectile retains its mass and expands in a controlled manner to meet FBI penetration standards.
Should I test this ammo in my firearm before relying on it?
Yes. It is a fundamental rule of firearms handling to test any defensive ammunition for reliability and point of impact in your specific firearm. The 200-round case provides enough ammunition to conduct a thorough function test and practice session.
