Excellent performance

Accurate, feeds and extracts perfectly in my Tisas 1911. Spicier than typical FMJ, clocking 1,300 fps out of a 5 inch barrel. About the best 9mm ball ammo I've found. Only downside is if you're going to reload the brass the primer crimp has to be swaged out.

good ammo

good ammo for cheap. worked good in my 365xl and hi point 995ts. buy it when you can on sale.

Excellent training ammo

Five stars for use as training ammo. Have fired 200 rounds, so far in three pistols: Springfield XDe, Browning Hi-Power (2), and Sig P320/M17. Clean. Dependable, with no failures to fire. Not a single hiccup. Can't beat the quality for the price--great value. Will continue to use this ammo. I also use this Winchester Service Grade with .45ACP pistols.

A good deal on ammo

Great for target and practice shooting. Can be reloaded BUT primer has a slight crimp!!

Quality ammo

Quality ammunition. Does not feel hot as another reviewer stated. Also, it is a FMJ Round Point, not a Flat Point as stated in another review. Only downside is if you reload due to the primer being crimped. Its not an excessive crimp but it is crimped nonetheless.

Much hotter than Winchester White Box

Flat nose. 1300 FPS. Much hotter than Winchester White Box (1190 FPS). Flat nose problematic with one of my guns. Leaves a lot of white specks and the occasional small ring of brass in my guns and magazines. Accurate, especially at longer ranges due to high velocity. Lots of recoil for a 115 grain bullet.
