I carry an m9 loaded with +P hollowpoints, FMJ is for targets, I never want to worry about over penetration, the price will have to come down a bit, but I would love to have these bullets for carry.

I will once price drops. Would be nice to KNOW my small caliber, low round EDC weapon can get the job done in 1 shot. FTFs would be my biggest concern.

In order to test it's effectiveness. Appears that it may be a safer home defense ammo.

.380 and 9mm have been considered in-adequate by many as stopping power. These will change that and allow me to carry a smaller firearm that still has one shot stopping power.

The ultimate round! 9mm bullet is more effective than a .45 round. Therefore shooting a 9mm handgun , with lower recoil and more bullets per magazine answers the need for ultimate protection

IF I could afford it; I'd buy to test it 1st. A tech paradygm shift in ammo demands it IMHO. i.e. Mfgr claims 0 malfunction feed/fire/eject failures. I'd verify ballistics & accuracy up to 25+yds

Who needs ammo that will kill everytime? I can understand military use but civilians do not need ammo with this capability. And to spend $12 a round is a bit costly to never use.
