The Hornady 9132 Custom 40 S&W ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance through proven XTP bullet technology. This 155-grain hollow point round provides reliable expansion and deep penetration for personal defense applications.
What Makes This Different
The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet features a precisely engineered hollow point cavity that controls expansion across varying velocities. Unlike standard hollow points that may over-expand or under-penetrate, the XTP maintains structural integrity while delivering consistent wound channels. The swaged lead core and gilding metal jacket are locked together through Hornady's InterLock ring system, preventing jacket separation.

This ammunition performs effectively in both full-size and compact 40 S&W pistols, delivering approximately 1180 fps muzzle velocity from a 4-inch barrel. The 155-grain bullet weight balances recoil management with stopping power, making it suitable for law enforcement duty use and civilian personal protection. The XTP design expands reliably through heavy clothing and intermediate barriers while maintaining penetration depth within FBI protocol standards.
