Your Questions Answered
Is this suitable for all 9mm handguns?
Most modern 9mm handguns rated for +P ammunition can safely fire this round. Always consult your firearm’s manual to confirm +P compatibility. Our staff notes a slightly tighter fit in some Gen4 Glock frames compared to Gen5—this is a common observation with certain +P loads and does not indicate a problem.
What’s the difference between American Gunner and Critical Defense?
The American Gunner line uses Hornady’s XTP bullet, which is a traditional jacketed hollow point designed for reliable expansion through various barriers. Critical Defense uses the FTX bullet with a polymer tip to aid expansion, especially through heavy clothing. Both are excellent; XTP is often favored for its proven track record in law enforcement.
