HI.
I'm currently carrying Hornady XTPs in my 9x18 Makarov as this seems to be about the most lethal round currently available in this caliber. We Makniks are anxiously awaiting the promised introduction of a new Cor Bon.
Do you know much about the XTP? How does it compare to the Speer Gold Dot?
After reading the account of the FBI Miami shootout on gunzone I was given the impression the XTP was 1.) Designed after this gunfight and 2.) was specifically designed to penetrate first, then expand. Can anyone confirm this?
The Barnual HP in 9x18 always chronos better muzzle velocity but the XTP penetrated 1.5" more (as I recall) before expanding in GoldenLoki's famous gel tests.
THANKS!!
