Frequently Asked Questions
Is my pistol rated to handle +P ammunition?
Most modern, full-size 45 ACP pistols from reputable manufacturers — including 1911-pattern pistols, GLOCK 21, Springfield XD, and similar handguns — are rated for +P ammunition. However, you should always consult your firearm's owner's manual before using +P loads. Extended use of +P rounds may accelerate wear on springs and other components, so periodic inspection is recommended. Older or surplus pistols may not be rated for overpressure ammunition.
How does the CorBon JHP expand compared to other hollow points?
CorBon's JHP features both internal and external serrations on the bullet jacket combined with a soft lead cavity, which work together to initiate expansion reliably even after passing through light clothing or other common barriers. In ballistic gelatin testing, the 185 gr +P load consistently achieves 9–15 inches of penetration with significant mushrooming — meeting or exceeding the FBI's minimum 12-inch penetration benchmark in most test conditions.
Can I use this ammunition for range practice, or is it strictly for carry?
While CorBon JHP +P is fully functional for range use, its premium price point makes it best suited for defensive carry, periodic function testing, and accuracy verification rather than high-volume target practice. Most shooters choose a lower-cost 45 ACP FMJ load for regular range sessions and reserve the CorBon JHP for their defensive carry rotation — typically replacing carry ammunition every 6–12 months.
