I will try the FTX. Sounds like a round worth testing in my 2" j-frame. I have used the 125 gr XTP standard pressure .38′s with from Hornady with good results. I will try the FTX.

It's hot, hard hitting, consistent, penetrative, expands well, and it looks cool. I use it in 40 S&W, 357 Mag, and 45 ACP {when I could get it in 45} Hornady makes quality stuff. The copper used in their bullets is a purer copper than most other brands, that's why they have a darker color. The cases are hard and smooth feeding. i never get dents in Hornady cases at all. They hardly even scratch, other brands especially Federal's nickel dent pretty easy. Especially their HST line for some reason. Hornady is the best quality out there. Love, love, love this ammo !

ALL rounds are within about 30 FPS. I shoot ALOT...and my M&P is my "all the time" sidearm. recoil is pretty light....shot it the other night in the dark (yes it was into the woods, into a 2000 pound bale of hay) and the muzzle flash is next to ZERO. i handload, so the 180 gr. Speer GD HP have been in there since i got the M&P. however, with how reliable the FTX is, thats what fills my 3 15 round mags. love it. forget about the XTP Hornady, the FTX is by far the best bullet i have ever shot. thanks.

My concealed carry is a great CZ RAMI in 40 S&W and I'd sure like this round for it. When can we expect .40 S&W and .45 ACP?
