Fiocchi Hyperformance Handgun Wins Editors' Choice Award

Fiocchi, a global leader in defensive, target, and hunting ammunition, would like to thank the editors at On Target magazine for selecting Fiocchi’s Hyperformance Handgun Hunting & Wilderness Defense ammunition for a 2024 Editor’s Choice Award.

Hyperformance Handgun Hunting & Wilderness Defense is one of the newest series of straightwall cartridges developed for handgun hunting fans and for defense against dangerous animals in the backcountry.

Said On Target, “The Handgun Hunting and Wilderness Defense ammunition utilizes the venerable Barnes XPB, an all-copper hollow point projectile that reliably expands, even after punching through tough skin. This hard-hitting projectile features exceptional weight retention, controlled expansion, and deep penetration and is built specifically for the conditions and demands of the modern handgun hunter.”

Hyperformance Handgun Hunting & Wilderness Defense is currently offered in four popular pistol cartridge loadings featuring the proven Barnes XPB bullet:

  • .357 Magnum (140-gr., 1250 fps)
  • 10mm Auto (155-gr., 1165 fps)
  • .44 Magnum (225-gr., 1240 fps)
  • .45 Colt (200-gr., 1,010 fps)

“With more hunters and defense-minded consumers turning to heavy-hitting handguns, we wanted to develop a cartridge to meet the toughest challenges,” said Christian Hogg, Director of Marketing. “The new Hyperformance Handgun Hunting & Wilderness Defense loads certainly satisfy the requirements of reliability, accuracy, and superior terminal performance, and we appreciate the On Target editors’ confidence in awarding our latest product with the 2024 Editors’ Choice Award.”
