Thank you for buying 9mm HST in stock ammo at TargetSportsUSA.com

Question: I see the price jumped up $10.00 in a span of about 2 weeks and something is said about "not being able to sell below the "new" MAP"?!? I just purchased a box for $30.00 from another site. I hope this is not a new trend for 'Targetsportusa' because that is the reason that I have been a loyal customer for years. Great service and great prices - Kenneth (07/04/2019) Response: Hi Kenneth, No Vista/Federal is being very strict about the HST pricing and they will cut off anyone how violates the Pricing Agreement. Our customer always come first, however we have to respect the vendors as well. Thank you for your understanding.

Question: besides the price for 50 rounds vs 20, what is the difference in performance between the law enforcement 124 hst's and the self defense 124 hst's? - greg (11/27/2017) Response: Hi Greg, there is 100% No difference between the two rounds of the Federal Law Enforcement 9mm Luger Ammo 124 Grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point ammunition except for the packaging and quantity. Take advantage of this deal, it may not last forever. HST is great self-defense round and for the price of 20 rounds you actually get 50 rounds. Thank you for buying ammo at TargetSportsUSA.com

Question: The round that is in the picture for the box of 20 Federal HST looks completely different than the round in the picture for the box of 50 HST.. I also noticed this while looking at the 2 different rounds in Walmart.. What is the difference between the two? Thank You. - Stephen (11/07/2017) Response: Hi Stephen, I am not sure what pictures/images of the HST 9mm you are looking at, however we can 100% assure you that the ammo is the same in both packaging.

Thanks - sherman (04/18/2017) Response: P9HST3 Federal HST 9mm Luger ammunition features a +P load which is hotter and offers higher velocity then the Non +P load (P9HST1). Thank you for visiting TargetSportsUSA.com

Question: The photo on this listing shows +P on the end of the box. There is also a separate listing for +P 9mm HST. Is this a second listing for +P, or is there an error in the photo? The pistol I want to use this for is not rated for +P ammo, so it is important that I get standard pressure. Thanks in advance for your time and attention in clarifying this. - John (01/08/2017) Response: This Federal P9HST1 9mm Luger 124 Grain JSP ammunition is the standard pressure 9mm ammo, not the +P version. We just use the same picture for all diffrent HST 9mm versions including the 147 Grain etc. Thank you for visiting TargetSportsUSA.com
