The nice thing about it, at the time, was that the "practice" rounds and the "personal protection" rounds were almost exactly the same geometry, and exactly the same mass, so you could practice with the cheaper rounds, and carry the more expensive rounds, and be almost 100% certain that they both will cycle exactly the same. When you get right down to it, they are just basic hollowpoints (though there are some hypotheses that they are the children of the infamous "Black Talons") and I will probably upgrade to a better SD round eventually.

RA9TA is supposed to be a good round) but this is the 1st I've seen of the SXZ. What’s Winchester SXZ? I’ve heard of the SXT (the 127gr.

I usally load my carry guns +1, so I suspect when I travel I'll bring an ammo box filled with ammo and leave the mags empty. So is all your carry ammo contained in the mags?
