The Buffalo Bore 9mm Luger +P+ 95gr Barnes TAC-XP load (Buffalo Bore item no. 24G20) is a lead-free, low-flash +P+ round for shooters who want an expanding 9mm bullet. Buffalo Bore lists the 95-grain all-copper bullet at 1,550 fps and says it generates very little felt recoil, which aids fast follow-up shots. The maker also says the bullet penetrates very deeply for its .355 diameter, expecting roughly 13 inches in ballistic gelatin. Buffalo Bore notes the load was reliable in all test pistols and showed good to excellent accuracy.
