opinions on hornady 115gr 9mm XTP 1155fps?

[TINCAN]

Got some for a really good price today... not familiar with that loading, I have a kel tec p-11 that is not known for reliablily with 147gr 9mm and eats 115gr,,,,

what do you think about the 9mm hornady bullet 115gr at 1155fps

I've shot both 124gr, and 147gr XTP loads in 9mm. Excellent Personal defense round.

I use it in my G26 on top of the BlackHills 124gr JHPs, one round in each mag.
I've never used Hornady's in a p11, but I don't forsee any issues with it, either. To the OP: are you using the p11 as your only ccw or is it a backup gun?

I use 115 for practice.

How much did they cost?

Most of the ballistics tests that I've seen on the 115 has them under-penetrating - like in the 10" range.

I don't know how the 115gr XTPs perform, but I'm thinking I would categorize them as just really expensive practice ammo for me.

On the other hand, there are some compacts and sub compact micro-matics that only like a certain recoil impulse. If you have a weapon that likes 115 but not other stuff then the XTP may be your best bet.

This was my rational... I use the XTP in my 10mm as a woods round.. as a hallow point it is known as a good penitrator. since the p-11's like the 115gr i thought this might get me to 12 inches penitration with moderate expasion.

The P-11 is my backup to my G29:D

well see how they shoot tommarrow
