Hornady created American Gunner to put a proven defensive bullet in a more affordable package, so shooters can train with what they carry. This listing is Hornady American Gunner 9mm Luger +P 124 grain XTP hollow point ammo, MPN 90224, sold as 250 rounds. It suits concealed carriers and home defenders who want to test and practice with a hollow point rather than only FMJ. Rotate the rounds in your carry magazines every few months so they stay fresh.
Hornady rates 90224 at 1,175 fps with 380 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The XTP, short for Extreme Terminal Performance, is a jacketed hollow point known for controlled expansion and deep penetration, rather than rapid fragmentation. The +P pressure rating adds velocity to help a 124 grain bullet expand consistently from compact pistols. This is a personal defense load. For routine target shooting, a full metal jacket round costs less.
It fits 9mm Luger pistols rated for +P ammunition, including the Glock 19, 26, and 48, SIG P365 and P320, Smith and Wesson M&P9 and Shield Plus, Springfield Hellcat Pro, CZ P-10 C, Walther PDP, and HK VP9. A common question is whether +P ammo will wear out a pistol faster. Occasional +P use is fine in pistols rated for it, but heavy volume can increase wear, so many owners practice mostly with standard pressure ammo. Another common question is how XTP compares to bonded bullets. XTP tends to penetrate deeply with moderate expansion, which some shooters prefer for barrier-heavy scenarios.
Hornady 90224 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Hornady in Grand Island, Nebraska. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 25 rounds, 250 total, from one lot, enough to confirm reliability, qualify, and keep fresh rounds in your carry magazines.
