Had some really crappy .40S&W ammo from a local gun show, was shopping around for ammo, so I joined the Ammo+ Program and ordered this. From CT to FL in 4 days and this ammo is awesome!! Will be my new goto for range ammo.

I find these bullets accurate. They aren't very dirty. My handguns shoots them well. No problems. Target Sports is a great place to buy them. I purchase the majority of hand gun bullets from them. That says it all.

Toby T.

I chose the 165 grain over the 180 because I thought it would be more accurate at 25 yards and beyond. It definitely is that! Great price and TS USA ships 'em fast! Had them at my door in under 3 days.
