Saw this online lately and for JHP/self defense ammo it seems to be priced pretty well.

I checked out all of the data I could find and didn't see this specific ammo in the 'handgun bullet performance' spreadsheets here and was curious if anyone used this and it it was GTG as far as defensive use and if it passed the standard penetration tests.

Thanks

While I have no idea as to the terminal ballistics of this round, I wouldn't use it for defensive ammo. I doubt you'll find much, if any, actual data on this round. To me it's just plinking ammo.

Why trust your life to the cheapest you can find? Stick with a known, reliable round. I would feel better carrying the cheap Federal or Remington JHP. Spend the extra $10/box of 50 and buy Gold dots, Ranger SXTs, etc.

When I do stock it I market it as target ammo. If you look at the design compared to premium bullets  it does not inspire a lot of confidence that it will expand.

I'd use gold dot or HST






I do love Privi for plinking in any caliber I have tried

Ya, thanks guys. I'l just gets some Speer's and be done with it.

I knew Prvi made alot of ammo for the military, figured they may have made a 'no frills' JHP that just worked and was at a good price, but I'll just go with something proven.

As mentioned above, Probably nothing wrong with it but, Would you trust your life with it?  All the Prvi stuff I have shot has worked fine and as advertised but is pretty dirty though. Just my .02
