Great penetration with a balanced heavy grain weight of 135g. Nose peels back reliably and creates a nearly 1/2″ wound channel. Sheds clothing upon impact unlike other hollow points. This round meets FBI standards for penetration without risk of over-penetration. Great carry round but the performance does cost you a little extra. However, you can’t spend too much $$$ when you need a threat stopper that doesn’t over-perform in close quarters. 3 rounds of this ammo impacting at target center mass with 330ft.lbs. of immediate energy dump will stop any threat (with the exception of a bear perhaps).
This is my carry ammo for my Springfield Armory EMP 9mm 1911.

Let me add that a 3 round spread (or burst) will impact the target with a combined energy of over 1000lbs. of stopping power.
(Maybe enough to stop a bear if well placed).
