Winchester's PDX 1 loads have quickly established a reputation as great defensive handgun ammunition. They expand—regardless of barrel length—and, with the exception of the .380 ACP PDX1 load, they always penetrate a foot or more in 10-percent ordnance gelatin. This is a +P offering with a 124-grain bullet, so recoil is not mild, at least by 9 mm standards.
| Load | MV (fps) | PEN (inches) | EXP (inches) | RW (grains) |
| 9 mm +P Winchester PDX1 124-grain HP | 1,255 | 14.00 | .57 | 124 |
We refer to the draw stroke as the presentation at Gunsite. It’s a better explanation than simply “drawing” the pistol, because it describes the act of presenting the pistol from the holster to the target or threat. In our “basic,” five-day pistol class we expect students to present the pistol and make hits on targets from 3 to 7 yards away in 1.5 seconds. Most students can do this in two or three days of training.
