Heavy 147 grain bullets have a following among 9mm shooters who like a softer push in recoil and deep penetration. This listing is Hornady Custom 9mm Luger 147 grain XTP hollow point ammo, MPN 90282, sold as 250 rounds. It suits home defense, concealed carry, and suppressed 9mm owners who want an expanding bullet that stays below the speed of sound. Suppressor owners can also use it as a quiet, expanding home defense option.
Hornady rates 90282 at 975 fps with 310 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. At that velocity the 147 grain bullet is subsonic, which makes it quieter through a suppressor and gives a slower, pushing recoil impulse compared with fast 115 grain loads. The XTP is a jacketed hollow point known for controlled expansion and deep penetration, which helps when heavy clothing is a factor. It is a personal defense load, standard pressure, not a practice round.
It fits pistols and carbines chambered in 9mm Luger, including the Glock 17, 19, 26, and 34, SIG P320 and P365, Smith and Wesson M&P9 and CSX, Springfield Echelon, HK VP9 and P30, Beretta 92, Ruger Security-9, and pistol caliber carbines like the CZ Scorpion and Ruger PC Carbine. A common question is whether 147 grain or 124 grain is better for self defense. Both work. The 147 grain usually penetrates deeper with less muzzle flash, while 124 grain moves faster. Another common question is whether 147 grain ammo is subsonic. Yes, this load runs under 1,000 fps.
Hornady 90282 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, so you can confirm your pistol feeds it reliably and then carry the same ammunition with confidence.
