Winchester makes silvertip ammo.The 9x23x9MM is factory made and easily available in the U.S.The bullet is a jacketed hollow point,not anything extra special.The cartridge is one of the better self defense factory loads.

The 9x23MM silvertip is soft point not hollow point,sorry.;o(

Is 9x23mm what the Spanish call "9mm Largo"? I thought it was less common.....the sort of thing you'd find if you looked at secondhand Astras at a gun show. As I recall, it has approximately the same performance as .38 Super (also popular in Spanish-speaking countries), just short of .40 S&W.

It was in one of todays newspapers. The bullets were 9mm Silvertip Hollowpoints. It was confirmed that this ammo is hard to get here and almost never used.
