Re: Hornady 9mm carry ammo
Despite the testers praise, the video shows bare minimum acceptable penetration in bare gel and anemic velocity, yielding under 300 ft/lb of kinetic energy.

Re: Hornady 9mm carry ammo
Fed hst 124g+p deeper penetration, more expansion, more velocity, more ft/lb energy. Better in every way.

Re: Hornady 9mm carry ammo
Perhaps I'm alone on this, but I wouldn't use +p in a micro 9. Too much bite for fast and accurate follow-up shots. YMMV.

Re: Hornady 9mm carry ammo
Critical duty is designed for barrier penetration. Critical defense is marketed for its ability to deliver modest expansion despite anemic velocity.
Personally, I have never felt handicapped in regard to accuracy or speed, shooting any defensive 9mm loading I have tried (in a Glock 26 or 43.) So I do not see the benefit of shooting watered down critical defense. After all, no matter how hot you load it, we just aren't talking about 44 mag here, its 9mm.
