Product Overview

Effective self-defense requires ammunition that provides consistent expansion, optimum penetration and superior terminal performance.  And HST® delivers. That’s why it’s already the duty load of choice for law enforcement officers throughout the world. Its specially designed hollow point won't plug while passing through a variety of barriers, and the bullet jacket and core hold together to provide nearly 100 percent weight retention through even the toughest materials.

  • Specially designed hollow point expands reliably through a variety of barriers
  • Expanded diameter and weight retention produce the desired penetration for personal defense situations without over penetrating
  • Superior performance in FBI test protocol used by law enforcement officials to assess and select duty ammunition
  • Bullet nose profile, nickel-plated case and high-performance primer provide the ultimate in function and reliability in semi-automatic handguns

Amazing. Just as advertised
I was curious to the claims and I must say I am impressed. I tested these against Winchester PDX-1 230gr .45 ACP and both bullets had comparable velocities out of my XDS. What really got me was when I fired them into milk jugs filled with water. Each penetrated 3 jugs and stopped in the 4th, but the HST had almost 3/8" more expansion diameter and the menacing looking claws were an added bonus. Great ammo and is now in use in my EDC.

Great choice for +P JHP
Good high quality hollow points for defensive use. Can verify they feed perfect through HK USP 45 full size.

Great!
Haven't needed to use it in self defense luckily. But while target practicing, it makes a pretty whole! Great expansion
