Hornady XTP as carry ammo
Hi guys, would like your take on the Hornady XTP 115gr 9mm bullets. Are they ok for carry ammo? I only have a couple of gold dots left and cant find anything else than the XTP's in bloem. My experience with Hornady is limited to V-max, A-max and SST rifle bullets and they impressed me.
Should i buy them at R290/100 or wait for something better?

Not my first choice but I wouldnt have an issue carrying them as long as they are reliable in your gun.

R290/100 is almost the price of range ammo. i would say you keep a box in the safe somewhere

Where can you get them? Skietwinkel? If so the price went down since I last checked on them.

Just spoke to one of the guys at Gerrie Coetzee arms at the Co-op. He says they should get some either tomorrow or tuesday.

Re: Hornady XTP as carry ammo
I am assuming R290/100 is for bullets not ammo?

Will post a pic if I can get one small enough.
