2 years agoVery good PD bullet's. Unfortunately it's hard to find, and a bit too expensive. Overall good if you want a good home defense round.

2 years agoHornady Critical Defense is one of my preferred Ammo for personal and home defense. I’ve shot hundreds of rounds and never had an issue in my Glock 19 Gen 5

1 year agoGreat Ammo and very reliable. When you need great stopping power and something you can count on to fire....this is it!!!
Robert P.
1 year agoThis is a very good defensive round - stock pile it whenever it’s available - these rounds are worth every cent you pay for them.
Keith Y
1 year agoSure. I strongly recommend these for home defense in any quality 9mm firearm. Tests have shown this to be an extremely reliable round.
Edward S.
1 year agoHaven’t had any two legged Varmints to test them on yet. But, overall appearance looks like they will stop what I need to stop. Hard to find these at prices as good as here.
David K.
1 year agoThese rounds cycle perfectly through my S&W Shield EZ 9mm. They shoot to the same point as my 115 gr hardball, so no adjustment needed. Recoil seemed a bit lighter than for hardball. All in all, a good round. Comforting to know that it passes the FBI penetration test.

1 year agoWe all know that Hornady is a quality ammo company. In this review, I want to praise PSA for their excellent service from order to deliver to customer service. I'm a loyal customer!
Chip C.
1 year agoThese are probably the best bullets ever made. Accurate. Expansion. Powerful. The quality is great. You can see and feel it. Tight groups with minimal flash. Perfect for nighttime situations. The expansion is a horrid cloverleaf that looks like it would gut a bear.

1 year agoNice to get some home defense ammo for a somewhat decent price. Would be nice to get 1,000 rounds of CCI though.
PHIL C.
1 year agoI was looking for a defensive cartridge that performs to FBI criteria in the bare gel and denim tests from a short barrel without being prone to overpenetration. After researching what was out there, this seems like a cartridge that fits my needs very well, for defensive purposes inside and outside of the home. After shooting hundreds of rounds of it without issue, I now I carry this in all my short-barreled defensive pistols. Some people don't like this round because it won't pass the
Tristan A.
1 year agoI use this in my carry pistol and never have an issue at the range with failure to feed, failure to fire or failure to eject. Coupled with the engineering of the round to have reliable stopping power for it's size, it's very reliable.
Matthew R.
1 year agoIt is Hornady ammo, so it is good. Shipping was good. Palmetto State Armory is a top company to deal with so you do not have to worry about not getting what you ordered.
Annelise M.
1 year agoVery accurate! Tight groups. The ammo fed reliably and the recoil was very manageable. This is my go to carry ammo.
James B.
1 year agoMy 9mm personal defense round for CZ 75 BD and M&P Shield. Will shoot (from a ransom style rest) less than 1.5 inch 10 shot groups at 25 yards.
robert g.
1 year agovery accurate ammo. i use as my ccw ammo and also occasionally during practice. Palmetto delivered quickly and at a good price.
Jack G.
1 year agoI’ve always run Hornady when it comes to edc and hunting. Always great ammo and these are any different. This is what I trust my life with.

1 year agoShot it into ballistics gel, and it stopped about 12-14 inches in after flipping backwards and doing some damage.
Ghost_215
1 year agoAwesome self defense rounds runs beautifully through my Glock 43x with the PSA Micro dagger magazines great and speedy shipping well packaged will definitely be buying more again
James V
1 year agoExtremely well made ammunition, Lighter recoil and less muzzle flash still seems to hit steel with a resounding thud. This ammunition seems specifically made for smaller 9mm's and it seems to give great performance out of my Glock 43, 43X and Sig 365. It is expensive however so aside from testing its functionality I will leave this in the magazines in case of an emergency.
