Ran several factory defense loads across my Oehler 35P last year and the Barnes 115g TAC XPD +P was disappointing. The box stated 1125 FPS, they clocked 1071 FPS out of my Glock 34 and would not cycle the action. Got 969 FPS from my Glock 43.
Hornady Critical Duty 135g flexlock JHP clocked an impressive 1043 FPS out of my 2.5" Ruger SP101 and the Glock 43. 1096 FPS out of the Glock 34. Advertised MV was 1015 FPS
Hornady Critical Defense 115g FTX JHP had a advertised MV of 1140 FPS and did 1133 FPS out of the Glock 43, 1241 FPS out of the Glock 34.
May have been a one off batch for the Barnes ammo but I have been unwilling to spend another $20 to test again.
The Hornady performance was as advertised even out of the short barrel of the Ruger and the Glock 43.
