About this powder
Power Pistol is Alliant's answer to high-performance semi-automatic pistol cartridges. It extracts maximum velocity from 9mm +P, .357 SIG, and 10mm while maintaining acceptable pressure. The visible muzzle flash is a known characteristic — not a problem for competitive use but less ideal for defensive applications.
