The Hornady American Gunner 9mm Luger +P 124-grain XTP Hollow Point delivers reliable terminal performance for serious shooters. This premium defensive ammunition combines proven XTP bullet technology with consistent powder charges to ensure dependable expansion and penetration when accuracy matters most.
What Makes This Different
The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet features controlled expansion through its precise jacket design and swaged lead core. Unlike standard ball ammunition, the XTP hollow point expands reliably across various barrier materials while maintaining weight retention. The +P loading generates higher velocities than standard pressure rounds, delivering approximately 1,180 fps muzzle velocity for enhanced stopping power.
