Details
We got a real Midwest special in store for you today. This 9mm self-defense ammo was loaded in Missouri by Fiocchi, and it features eXtreme Terminal Performance (XTP) projectiles by Hornady of Nebraska!
The XTP is a jacketed hollow point with a drawn gilding metal jacket (as opposed to a more conventional plated jacket). The jacket gets thinner the closer it gets to the nose cavity, which helps the XTP undergo wider expansion at lower velocities. The precise serrations surrounding the XTP’s tip accomplish the same purpose. The XTP’s jacket additionally shields the rim of its nose cavity, which prevents it from deforming when it hits the feed ramp. Its protected rim also helps the XTP pass through thick clothing without becoming too damaged to unleash rapid subsequent terminal expansion.
Nickel-plated brass cases are always a good finishing touch for self-defense ammo. They reduce friction that could have caused a feeding jam or failure to extract. They keep away corrosion that could have impaired functionality. They also reflect more light than bare brass, which makes them easier to spot during chamber checks.
