MPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE HEADSTAMP ON Buffalo Bore Ammunition 9mm Luger +P+ 95 Grain Barnes TAC-XP Hollow Point Lead-Free 500 round: Due to limited supplies of brass, Buffalo Bore has begun loading +P and +P+ ammunition in brass that may not be indicated as such on the headstamp. Example: 9mm Luger +P+ ammunition may be designated as 9mm Luger +P or simply 9mm Luger on the headstamp.
Buffalo Bore loads their ammunition up to maximum SAAMI specifications, which delivers devastating performance on a wide range of game. Please note that this ammunition is not intended for older guns. It is made for modern firearms only, as some of the ammunition could damage older and weaker firearms. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.
Owner of Buffalo Bore Tim Sundles on Buffalo Bore Heavy 9mm +P+ Ammunition:
This loading features some positive developments for the 9MM, for those wanting an expanding bullet. First, the light weight 95gr. Barnes X-type bullet generates very little felt recoil, which aids in fast follow-up shots. Second, as do all X-type bullets, that all copper bullet, penetrates very deeply for a .355 diameter bullet that only weighs 95grs. Expect roughly 13 inches of penetration in ballistic gelatin.
Nearly all Buffalo Bore Tactical/self defense ammo features low flash powder and this load is no exception. We think low flash powder offers a huge tactical advantage to the shooter as almost all civilian shootings in the US happen in low light when the criminal element is most active and this ammo will not blind the shooter.
As with all Buffalo Bore loadings, we advertise real world velocities from real over-the-counter firearms, so the shooter can know what the ammo is actually achieving. The long time industry standard of using extra long test barrels to generate advertised velocities is dishonest to the customer as the customer has no idea what type of performance the ammunition actually delivers in the real world, which is the only place it matters.
1524 fps — Walther P88-4 inch barrel
1374 fps — Glock 19-4 inch barrel
1508 fps — Browning Hi Power MK111-4.6 inch barrel
1496 fps — Beretta 92F-4.9 inch barrel
You’ll note that some of the shorter barrels developed faster velocities than some of the longer barrels. This is due to barrel internal dynamics such as surface smoothness, land and groove dimensions, chamber dimensions, etc. Barrel length alone is not always an accurate determinate of velocity generated with any given load.
This load was reliable in all test pistols and exhibited excellent to good accuracy in all test pistols.
There is such a variety of 9mm pistols in public use that we will not determine what guns are compatible with which 9mm loads. It is up to you to determine the compatibility of any ammo with your particular pistols.

Laura martins –
Yes,it’s premium priced, but you cannot put a price on reliability. The lead-free design is a bonus for my indoor range, but I buy it for the absolute confidence in its performance. The 500-round case is the only way to buy—for training and stocking.
Xavier Dubois –
Je m’attendais à un recul violent avec une munition A+P+, mais Buffalo Bore a réalisé un travail remarquable. Le projectile de 95 grains et la poudre spécifique offrent un recul sec mais très contrôlable pour des tirs de suivi rapides.
Thomas “Doc” P –
The specs aren’t marketing hype.Chronographed these myself and they met the claimed velocity. The Barnes TAC-XP petals are perfectly uniform every time. This is the most consistent, high-performance 9mm I’ve ever used. Shipping was fast and discreet.
Ranger Ellen L. –
When hiking in bear country,I carry a 10mm. But for two-legged predators or smaller wildlife threats, this is my choice. The deep penetration and violent expansion of the all-copper bullet are exactly what’s needed. Knowing I have 500 rounds on hand is reassuring
David Evans –
Ran the entire case through my Glock 19 and HK VP9.Not a single hiccup—perfect feeding, firing, and ejection. The terminal performance in gel tests is textbook: deep, wide wound channels. This is now my exclusive carry and home defense ammunition.
Mikhail S. –
If you understand why bullet construction matters,you’ll appreciate this ammo. The Barnes bullet doesn’t fragment or over-expand; it drives deep and opens reliably. The +P+ pressure gives it the “oomph” to ensure performance from short barrels. Exceptional product.
Aiden Cooper –
The TAC-XP is a better engineered projectile than most traditional lead-core JHPs. The case was delivered promptly and in perfect condition.
Garry –
trust it implicitly for my own defense and recommend it to advanced students without hesitation.
William Lennox –
This is what 9mm is capable of when pushed to its safe,practical limit. The velocity is impressive, the expansion is dramatic, and the penetration is adequate. It turns a 9mm into a far more potent round. Buying in the 500-case makes sense for serious training.
Emma Johnson –
This is my chosen duty and home defense load. The 500-round case is perfect for stocking up.”
Michael Brown –
Don’t let the price scare you—you get what you pay for.This is the most potent 9mm load I’ve ever fired. Recoil is stout but very manageable. The fact that it’s lead-free is a huge bonus for my indoor range. Shipping was discreet and faster than expected
J. Davies –
Fired 200 rounds with zero issues in my Glock 19. Flawless function.”
Chris Taylor –
When I buy ammo for serious scenarios,I look for power, reliability, and non-toxic components. This checks all the boxes. The 500-round case is the perfect quantity for a deep reserve. Knowing I have this level of performance on hand gives me immense peace of mind.”
William Brooke –
You can feel the difference immediately.The muzzle report and impulse are significant, but the on-target results are incredible. The hollow point cavity is massive and feeds perfectly in my 1911. Customer service answered my velocity question within an hour.”
Allison Reed –
This is precision-engineered ammunition.”
K.R Mickey –
I carry for protection and recently switched to this Buffalo Bore load.The 95-grain at +P+ should not be underestimated. The penetration and expansion specs are ideal for personal defense. Buying the case meant I could thoroughly test it and still have plenty left to carry
Ben Stones –
Buffalo Bore doesn’t mess around with flashy marketing—they let the ballistics speak.This load is a hammer. The flat-nose TAC-XP design feeds like butter and delivers brutal terminal performance. The case was shipped securely and arrived ahead of schedule.”
Amelia martins –
The 500-round purchase allowed me to verify reliability and practice with my carry load
Ryan Lopez –
This is obviously ammo made by experts for experts. The power level is serious business. I trust my life to this ammunition.”
