This cartridge features the TAC-XP bullet by Barnes. The Utah company developed the TSX – the world’s most popular monolithic hunting bullet – and followed that act by developing a similarly solid copper hollow point bullet for self-defense. The TAC-XP exhibits “barrier-blind” performance, meaning it only sheds negligible weight as it passes through clothing, sheet metal, or some other obstacle separating your muzzle from the threat. The TAC-XP’s internally scored nose cavity produces swift and wide expansion, resulting in the hefty energy spike and gaping wound cavity which maximize soft tissue damage.
This is +P ammo. The pros: flatter trajectory, higher striking energy, potentially deeper penetration. The cons: more recoil, more wear and tear on the gun. The key takeaway: this ammo may be unsafe for older 9mm firearms; make sure yours is +P rated before firing +P ammo in it.
Underwood’s reduced-flash propellant helps the shooter maintain visual on the target at night. The Ohio company’s nickel-plated brass cases assist by minimizing friction inside the firearm, reducing corrosion in storage and in the field, and facilitating low-light chamber checks.
