Some shooters prefer a hollow point that favors penetration over rapid, wide expansion, and Hornady’s XTP is one of the best known examples. This listing is Hornady Custom 9mm Luger 124 grain XTP hollow point ammo, MPN 90242, sold as 250 rounds.
Hornady rates this load at 1,110 fps with 339 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The XTP, short for Extreme Terminal Performance, uses a jacket with serrations that control expansion so the bullet keeps driving after it opens. That makes it a solid choice for self defense and for hunting small game or hogs at close range with a 9mm. The 124 grain weight is a middle ground with moderate recoil in most pistols. Because it is a defensive load, test enough to confirm feeding before you rely on it.
This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 9mm Luger, also called 9x19mm or 9mm Parabellum, including the Glock 17, 19, and 43, the SIG P320 and P365, the Smith and Wesson M&P9 and Shield, the Springfield Hellcat and XD, the CZ 75 and P-10, the Walther PDP, and the Ruger PC Carbine. A common question is how XTP compares with bonded hollow points. XTP bullets tend to penetrate deeper with more modest expansion, while bonded bullets usually expand wider. Another common question is whether 124 grain ammo needs a special barrel. No. It is a standard 9mm weight that works in any pistol in good condition chambered for 9mm Luger.
Hornady 90242 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Hornady in Grand Island, Nebraska. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 25 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 9mm 124 grain XTP. That is enough to confirm reliability, practice with your carry round, and keep fresh ammunition in your magazines for a long time.
