Details
Hornady XTP bullets are a proven self-defense round that
will serve well in your .45 Auto pistol. Suitable for use in the Glock 21,
1911, and Springfield XD45, this load uses a lighter 200 grain jacketed hollow
point bullet to achieve an above average muzzle velocity of 900 feet per
second. The speed of the bullet, combined with the strong penetrative
capabilities of the XTP design, help maximize the .45 ACP’s inherent advantages,
compensate for its known weaknesses, and ensure expansion deep in the target.
Count on Hornady XTPs to have your back if you ever find yourself in a
self-defense situation.
