A: Yes sir, this ammo should function flawlessly in a Glock 43!

A: It's my great pleasure to talk about ammo sir! I expect this ammo should function correctly in that rifle. Its barrel twist is certainly adequate to stabilize so lightweight a projectile. Naturally a rifle's longer barrel will impart greater muzzle velocity to a 9mm cartridge than a pistol's. It is impossible to calculate how much faster than 1,312 fps this round's bullet should become – that can only be recorded with a chronograph.
I would never guarantee overpenetration can't happen, but I do believe it's less of a concern with this ammo even taking into account its boosted muzzle velocity. It is lightweight at 108 grains, and therefore shouldn't have relatively great momentum. It also expands very wide into the shape of a four pointed star, which ought to effectively anchor the bullet within the soft tissue it has penetrated. (Here you can see an MHP bullet fully expanded: https://ibb.co/GR3xrXK.)

A: Hello Reinold! There is no reason this ammo shouldn't function correctly in either of those two handguns, which are both chambered for 9mm. I'm just very slightly concerned that the Model 59 might not like it for some reason I cannot predict. I'd rather recommend the Sierra Outdoor Master ammo to you: luckygunner.com/9mm-124-grain-jhp-sierra-outdoor-master-20-rounds. It too is good ammo for self-defense, and Sierra is very high quality. This ammo is also more like the 9mm that would have been produced when the Model 59 was also in production. Again, the Norma ammo will almost certainly work fine in the 59, but I'd rather recommend the ammo I suspect will perform better for you.

A: Let's see. Norma does indeed make most of their ammo in Sweden, but in the case of this specific ammo it is indeed manufactured in Sirok, Hungary. We were mistaken earier. Thanks for catching that!
The cases are brass; they are black-oxide coated to reduce friction during feeding and extraction. The bullets are plated with what I believe to be nickel, but they are pure copper underneath. You can see the NRA's photo of an expanded MHP bullet revealing its monolithic composition here: shootingillustrated.com/articles/2019/8/8/review-norma-mhp-defensive-handgun-ammo/

A: Hello Earl! It's certainly supposed to, but in practice this ammo may be a little too long for your M&P Shield's magazine to reliably feed. You might not have the that problem, but I wouldn't like for you to find out the hard way.
I believe the ammo from Underwood and Speer that we have in stock is less likely to cause a failure to feed in your shield. They're both +P, but your handgun can handle the extra chamber pressure.

A: Yes sir, this ammo should treat your G48 quite nicely!
