Hornady - Jacketed Hollow Point - 115 Grain 9mm Ammo - 25 Rounds

If you’re looking for 9mm self-defense ammunition with lower recoil – but not necessarily “low-recoil” ammo – then Hornady American Gunner ought to satisfy in full. This round’s 115 grain bullet bolts out of a 4” barrel at a rate of 1,155 fps, which helps it kick less without sacrificing sufficient striking energy for defensive applications.

The eXtreme Terminal Performance jacketed hollow point projectile possesses multiple performance-enhancing features. Its drawn gilding metal jacket is concentric to promote stable flight, tapered and notched to promote reliable terminal expansion, and designed to feed fluidly in all semi-automatic firearms. The XTP additionally features a swaged lead core, which only improves its rotational stability even further.

Hornady plants their XTP bullets in fine reloadable brass cases, complete with responsive Boxer primers and powder that minimizes fouling of the firearm. A fine choice for all EDC handguns, and not at all unsuitable for teaching varmints the last lesson they’ll ever learn.
