Buffalo Bore's 95-grain Barnes TAC-XP load puts serious velocity downrange without the painful recoil hit you'd normally expect from a +P+ round. What makes this different is the engineering of the Barnes bullet itself. The all-copper construction with its scalloped nose peels back on impact, creating consistent expansion across a wide range of velocities and barriers. You get roughly 13 inches of penetration in ballistic gelatin with impressive mushrooming that nearly doubles the bullet's initial diameter.
Nearly all critical situations happen in low light when eyesight becomes everything. The low-flash powder in this load won't blind you after the first shot, keeping your vision clear for follow-ups or threat assessment. It's a practical advantage that gets overlooked until you actually need it.
The lightweight bullet cuts down on felt recoil while maintaining the penetration depth you'd see from much heavier projectiles. That means faster follow-up shots without sacrificing terminal performance. The +P+ pressure rating demands a modern, well-maintained pistol, but if your gun is rated for it, you get a potent load that balances speed with controllability. Recoil is noticeably lighter than you'd expect from the 1550 fps velocity, making this round genuinely pleasant to practice with compared to other high-velocity 9mm options.
This is lead-free ammunition in a brass case designed for reloaders. New production, non-corrosive, and boxer primed. Every box contains 20 rounds. Buffalo Bore loads to maximum SAAMI specifications and uses real-world velocities from actual firearms in their advertising, not artificial test barrel numbers.
Only if your pistol is specifically rated for +P+ ammunition. This high-pressure load is designed for modern, well-maintained firearms in normal operating condition. If you're unsure whether your gun is rated for +P+, check your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer. Using this ammunition in firearms not rated for +P+ pressures can damage your gun and be unsafe.
Recoil is surprisingly mild for a +P+ load at 1550 fps. Independent testing shows it feels very similar to standard-pressure 115-grain target ammunition, despite the significant velocity increase. The lightweight 95-grain bullet helps keep felt recoil manageable while maintaining serious stopping power.
The Barnes TAC-XP is a one-piece solid copper bullet with a scalloped nose design that ensures consistent expansion across different velocities and barrier conditions. It maintains 100% weight retention through barriers, meaning the full bullet mass continues into your target delivering energy where it counts. The controlled expansion limits overpenetration while providing reliable stopping performance.
Yes, especially if you ever need to use it defensively. Over 90% of civilian armed encounters happen in low-light conditions. If you fire without being blinded by muzzle flash, you keep your sight picture and can assess the threat clearly. It's a practical advantage that costs nothing extra since the flash-suppressed powder is included as standard in this load.
