Did well feeding into P320 xcompact, on target from 3-20 yards, definitely lighter rounds with noticeably less recoil. Still testing…

Accuracy, functioning out of my Glock 48 excellent. Recoil reduction was good. If age or other conditions are making recoil an issue this is a nice alternative.

Makes an LC9s shoot like a .38....extremely comfortable and accurate. Point of aim at 10yds. Very nice!!

I use these in my P-365 SIG....noticeably less recoil over 115 or 124 grain ball ammo. The pink plug is a nice touch in my mind....

Works well from in my opinion the best ammo company there is. My wife and I both carry these in our personal defense guns. Great for micro compact guns like the Glock 43 or Sig P365X. Reduces recoil and rise some. Helps for faster target acquisition. Plus these weigh a little less. However these do not have nickel cases like the description says. Palmetto needs to edit some of their info! Very nice ammo tho

11+1, 13+1, 15±1, as an option I'm my Springfield Armory Hellcat depending on how much concealment I need. Have been fortunate enough to not be needed for self defense but is there when I need it. PSA could have package a little better though. Have been recieving orders not on sale in 7 to 10 calandar days. Please make sure packages are stuffed tighter to prevent damage. Good job but PLEASE step it up PSA.

Definitely has less recoil. Appears to group similar at similar distances as well as standard 9mm ammo. Cycled my Sig Copperhead just fine.

These are an excellent choice for Sub Compact Pistols and they have close-to the same velocity, energy and penetration as the heavier 115 grain ( non +P ) option from Hornady.

The 9mm Hornady Lites feed well, cycle smoothly, and are accurate with less felt recoil in a Glock 43, Taurus G3C, and Tsurus GX4. A winning defense load for micros and minis.

My choice for personal defense in Colt King Cobra Target. I liked what I saw and heard regarding penetration, expansion and consistency in pretty much every video review. I find recoil very manageable, able to get back on target quickly.

I purchased this line for my Sig 365’s and 365XL’s hoping to have a softer recoiling defensive system. They give you very soft recoil but also give you a lot of hang ups. Multiple failures to feed in all my Sig micros. Thinking it was only the Sig’s I tried it in my Glock 19, OZ, and a Staccato P. All the guns had failures. I would only use this in a snub revolver or full size revolver. Definitely less recoil but I can’t do with the failures on the semi auto’s.
