These loadings feature Hornady's eXtreme Terminal Performance (XTP) bullets designed for reliable expansion and consistent terminal performance in defensive handgun applications. Developed by Hornady for self-defense use, the XTP bullet incorporates a precisely engineered hollow point cavity with controlled expansion characteristics that ensure reliable mushrooming while maintaining adequate penetration for effective stopping power. The XTP design emphasizes consistent performance across various barrel lengths and impact velocities while providing the accuracy needed for defensive applications. These types of loadings are well-suited for self-defense and personal protection applications where reliable expansion, consistent terminal performance, and proven effectiveness are essential for threat neutralization and personal safety across various handgun platforms.Common XTP Calibers
- 9mm:The 9mm Luger cartridge is easily the most common handgun round in common use. The caliber goes by many names, often being referred to as 9mm NATO, 9mm Parabellum, 9x19mm, or just generically “9mm”. The cartridge’s origins can be traced back to the early 20th century and is the brainchild of Georg Luger. Originally found in firearms such as the Borchardt C-93 and the P-08 Luger pistol, the round has become a common chambering for handguns in civilian and military use from the 20th century onward. Firearms such as pistols and submachine guns in 9mm Luger have commonly been used by military and law enforcement personnel across the globe, leading to the round establishing a reputation for being a reliable service cartridge.
- .357 Magnum:The .357 Magnum cartridge is the product of a collaboration between Elmer Keith and Smith & Wesson and was introduced in 1935. Initial production of the cartridge was carried out by Smith & Wesson and Winchester. The cartridge has a long and storied history in the world of law enforcement and personal defense. For a considerable portion of the 20th century, a .357 Magnum revolver was a common service weapon utilized by law enforcement officers. Additionally, many shooters have employed the cartridge for competition purposes and defensive uses. The round is also quite popular with hunters of various generations.
- .17 HMR:The .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (HMR) was introduced in 2002 by Hornady. This high-velocity rimfire cartridge is known for its excellent accuracy and flat trajectory, making it a popular choice for varmint hunting and target shooting. The .17 HMR is a necked-down version of the .22 Magnum, designed to fire a smaller, lighter bullet at higher speeds. Notably, many .17 HMR loadings are capable of achieving velocities as high as 2,600 FPS.
- 10mm:The 10mm Auto, often referred to as 10mm, is a potent handgun cartridge that was introduced in 1983. When compared to standard, non-specialty .357 Magnum loadings, the 10mm Auto is capable of producing higher energies. Specialty 10mm Auto loadings are on par with specialty, high performance .357 Magnum loadings. The cartridge is often compared to the 9mm Luger and .45 ACP as they are common semi-automatic cartridges of the time. The 10mm Auto essentially has high velocities, like 9mm Luger, and larger, heavier projectiles, like .45 ACP, providing shooters with a versatile and capable round. The 10mm Auto will notably have a stout and snappy recoil impulse which is accompanied by flat trajectories.
- .45 ACP:The .45 ACP, or .45 Automatic Colt Pistol, cartridge is the brainchild of prolific firearm designer John Moses Browning. Originally developed in 1904, the cartridge is closely associated with the 1911 pistol, an iconic service pistol chambered in .45 ACP. Beyond its use in handguns, the cartridge is well-known for being used in submachine guns such as the Thompson and M3 “Grease Gun.” The .45 ACP notably served the United States and allied nations throughout both World Wars and in many of the conflicts throughout the 20th century.
