Underwood 9x18mm Makarov ammunition loads a 95-grain Xtreme Penetrator bullet for owners of Makarov-pattern pistols who want a purpose-built defensive option in a caliber known more for surplus ball ammo. Underwood machines the Xtreme Penetrator from solid copper with a fluted nose, a design built to punch a wide wound channel by displacing material through the flutes rather than relying on a hollow point cavity to expand. That solid-copper build also resists clogging from heavy clothing in a way traditional hollow points can struggle with. In handgun ammunition for a Makarov-pattern pistol carried for defense, this is a modern option in an old-school caliber.
