Who carries Corbon PowRball in their XD-9? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Picked up few boxes of this. A little hotter than I thought. Read a magazine test that had them clocked at almost 1500 fps. Anyone like them in their XD?

I haven't purchased any of this yet but plan to. Did you find a good deal on this ammo somewhere?

This is the ammo that I keep in my XD40 for home defense. I have never had a single malfunction after hundreds of rounds or it. Utterly reliable.

Sorry to report...no good deals on the PowRball. They are proud of this round. I have quite a bit of experience with it in the 165gr .45acp version. Never one hiccup but not quite as accurate as a 230gr in a tuned 1911. But they didn't design this ammo for accuracy. I agree...I believe this may be the ultimate defensive round due to its slick feeding polymer nose. Hard to imagine a jam with this round...at least in a clean XD.
I'll get some through my XD-9 maybe this weekend and report back.

I use them, have not had any problems with them but then again I don't go to the range and shoot a box of 50. They work when ever I do test them out.

The latest testing results from Dr. Roberts show regular regular core-jacket separations. If you want Corbon go with the DPX. I would have recommended that even before seeing these latest results because the Barnes copper bullets already have an excellent reputation from past loadings.

Oh, and gun rags are crap for objective info.

I usually carry the DPX in my 9mm and my 38special.

If someone wants to try the stuff, we are giving away one $50 gift cert towards any Cor-Bon ammo of your choice, following Brian Enos' session in the Pistol-Gear "Bunker". Hey, who doesn't like free ammo!?
