Product Overview
KFF Defense presents Hornady Subsonic Handgun ammunition, engineered to deliver consistent terminal performance in 45 ACP platforms. This ammunition is specifically designed for optimal function at reduced velocities, making it a pragmatic choice for suppressed firearms or applications prioritizing mitigated recoil impulse.
Key Features
Optimized Subsonic Performance
This Hornady Subsonic load is precisely calibrated to operate effectively below the speed of sound. This characteristic is critical for maintaining sound suppression efficiency when used with a suppressor, as it eliminates the supersonic crack associated with standard velocity projectiles. The ammunition ensures reliable cycling across a range of compatible handgun systems.
XTP Projectile Technology
The core of this load is the Hornady XTP (Extreme Terminal Performance) bullet, a projectile recognized for its controlled expansion and penetration. The XTP bullet features a gilding metal jacket with strategically placed serrations and a flat profile. This design is engineered to promote consistent, reliable expansion across a broad velocity spectrum, including the lower velocities inherent to subsonic operation. The proven hollow point geometry facilitates effective energy transfer upon impact.
