250 Rounds of 147gr XTP JHP 9mm Ammo by Hornady

This may be stating the obvious, but when you are attempting to subvert an immediate threat to your and your family’s safety in what should have been the sanctity of your own home, you do not want to be either of two things: deafened, or blinded. That’s why Hornady designs this 9mm ammunition to preserve your senses and neutralize the threat.

This round’s 975 fps muzzle velocity is not supersonic, and its 147 grain bullet accordingly makes much less noise when you fire it. If you have a suppressor, you’re going to notice it works better with subsonic ammo than with the supersonic 124 and 115 grain loads.

This round’s propellant is formulated to produce as little muzzle flash as possible. If you have ever been blinded by a bright flash while your eyes were already acclimated to low light, you’ll appreciate flash-suppressed powder’s benefit. In other words, it’s easier to aim when you can still see.

The XTP is a jacketed hollow point with several features that promote reliable terminal expansion. The XTP’s jacket fully encompasses the edge of its nose cavity. That helps a semi-auto feed more reliably, and it also prevents the XTP from receiving damage that could have compromised its ability to expand. The XTP’s jacket wears symmetrical notches around its nose cavity, and it is also drawn so it is thicker around the base. Both of these features assure more reliable terminal expansion across a wide range of velocities.
