Overview
Hornady Subsonic 90971 loads a 230-grain XTP bullet at 925 fps and 437 ft-lbs from a 5-inch test barrel. It keeps the traditional heavy bullet weight at standard pressure and remains subsonic in Hornady's factory data.
The XTP is an expanding bullet rather than a hard-cast solid. Confirm reliable cycling in the exact pistol, especially when a suppressor changes the system's operating conditions.
