The Hornady 9131 Custom 357 Sig ammunition delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration through its proven XTP hollow point design. This premium defensive load combines the flat trajectory of the 357 Sig cartridge with Hornady's time-tested bullet technology for reliable terminal performance.
What Makes This Different
The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet features precise serrations that control expansion across a wide range of velocities. Unlike standard hollow points that may fail to expand at lower velocities or over-expand at high velocities, the XTP maintains consistent performance. The 147-grain weight provides optimal momentum transfer while reducing felt recoil compared to lighter, faster loads.
Key Features
- 147-grain XTP hollow point bullet with controlled expansion design
- 357 Sig caliber for flat trajectory and high velocity performance
- Precision-drawn brass cases for reliable feeding and extraction
- Select propellants optimized for consistent velocities
- 20 rounds per box packaging for range sessions or duty carry
- Compatible with all 357 Sig firearms including Glock, SIG Sauer, and S&W models
- Nickel-plated cases available for enhanced corrosion resistance
This ammunition excels in law enforcement and personal defense applications where barrier penetration and consistent expansion are critical. The 357 Sig cartridge maintains energy downrange better than 9mm while offering manageable recoil for rapid follow-up shots. Testing shows reliable expansion in both bare gelatin and through common barriers like heavy clothing and wallboard.
