HSM's Training 10mm Auto load takes a refreshingly practical approach to range time. Instead of chasing maximum velocity, this 180-grain FMJ round cruises at 1150 fps, delivering 529 ft-lbs of authority downrange. This puts it right in the goldilocks zone - stout enough to demand respect but gentle enough to encourage regular practice without developing a flinch or emptying your wallet.

Unlike lightweight plinking loads that barely wake up your slide, this round maintains enough punch to help develop proper recoil management skills. The full-weight 180-grain bullet matches the point of impact of typical defensive ammunition, ensuring your range time translates directly to real-world proficiency. You'll especially appreciate the reduced pressure during those high-round-count training days when maintaining proper form matters more than raw power.

This ammunition really shines during intensive training sessions focused on practical shooting skills. Whether you're running transition drills between multiple targets or working on your draw-to-first-shot timing, the moderate recoil helps maintain accuracy without sacrificing the feedback needed to perfect your technique. For competitive shooters, it offers enough oomph to make power factor in major divisions while keeping your frame and barrel fresh for match day. Consider it an investment in your skillset rather than just another box of practice ammo.
