Most Helpful Positive Review Security and peace of mind
I'm thankful that I have no experience with this ammo! I bought this on the recommendation of a couple of police officers and also bought them with the hope that they'll never be used. That's an odd review, perhaps, but it's the best I can do!

Great for PCCs

by Tim, Verified Owner from MN, United States Written on March 22, 2025
Purchased at the recommendation of B&T for the APC9k as they do not recommend traditional hollow points. I have run 2 boxes through both my APC and my PTR9K and they have worked flawlessly in both (both are unsuppressed at this time).

Works Well!

Accidental discharge into my thigh. Bullet made an entrance wound about the size of a quarter (maybe a lil larger) in my thigh. The bullet split, smaller part of it went through the other side of my thigh and then the larger projectile went under my knee through my calf. A lot of damage. Seriously a good bullet for self defense!!!
Pros:
  • Damage
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Quality Ammunition

by Doc Kaler, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on December 14, 2023
I’ve loaded my SP5 defensive magazines with this ammo as I can trust in Hornady ammo. Hopefully I’ll never need to use it for that purpose, of course. I’ve used Hornady 300gr XTP bullets in my 44 mag reloads and Cain attest to it’s stopping power on deer and big pigs and this experience added to my confidence in choosing Hornady ammo.
Pros:
  • Quality, designed for intended use
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Defense, hunting
Would recommend: Yes

by John, from TX, United States Written on November 24, 2023
Very consistent and hard hitting ammo. Functioned well in my Hellcat Pro. Definitely keeping this ammo on hand for defensive use.
Pros:
  • Hard hitting and accurate. Reasonable amount of felt recoil in a compact 9mm pistol
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes
