True. The weight was increased for better functioning and the hollow point made the round more accurate. It was never intended to expand. They needed head shot accuracy for sentry removal.

The Q load was on the light side and some guns would not work with it. Had a first generation G17 that worked perfectly with this issued load. Was like shooting a 22lr. Later switched to 115 gr CorBon and still using it.
