This round was built for shooters who want controlled recoil, consistent expansion, and confidence when conditions are less than ideal.

- 99.8% weight retained (146.52-147.00 grains from 147 grain initial)
FBI Heavy Clothing Test: 1 layer of denim, 1 layer of fleece, 1 layer of cotton dress shirt and 1 layer of cotton t-shirt into 10% FBI Ballistic gelatin block.

Testing was performed using both a full-size Glock 17 and a subcompact Glock 43X. Results from the Glock 43X closely mirrored those of the Glock 17 across all test mediums. Reliable expansion and consistent penetration were observed from both platforms, confirming dependable performance even from shorter barrel lengths.
Extensive testing was conducted to validate performance through common barriers and across different handgun platforms. This is a round built to perform when it matters.
Not all barrels are created equal, chronographs don't always agree with each other and atmospheric conditions affect velocities. That being said, we believe that you can expect to get around 1020 fps out of a 4.49" barrel and 950 fps out of a 3.41" barrel with this round!
This is a 50 round box.
