I have used them for the full House rounds we run in the 10mm’s with good results. All other calibers are sourced elsewhere.
I've only used the 10mm with excellent results on inanimate objects. Most 10mm is anemic but the Underwood offerings tear the crap out of a shank section ham.
Try one on a big ground hog.....
I haven't seen them in the mark down meat section at Krogers.
No major QC issues, but lots of offerings that are marketing over substance. Driving expanding bullets too fast, which makes impressive ME numbers and clear gel photos but actually reduces effectiveness. Lots of snake oil offerings relying on BS about fluid dynamics and the shape of the bullet. My opinion is they charge a premium and justify it with junk science to prey on those impressed by their marketing.
What they *do* make pretty well is deep penetration cartridges with their "Xtreme Penetrator", although the notion that the permanent wound cavity is larger due to the shape of the bullet is, again, complete BS. If I wanted several feet of penetration from a non-expanding ammo, particularly in a gun that wouldn't feed hardcast wadcutters, I'd consider Underwood. For hollowpoints, I'd avoid them. I'd avoid any fragmenting handgun rounds, period, other than training ammo.
I was interested in the normal ammo Underwood loads the Speer bullets as well as the gimmick stuff.
They give a 10% LEO/MIL discount which is always nice.
Here is what I am using now feel free to give suggestions!
Main EDC S&W M&P 2.0 compact 9mm
Hornady critical duty +p 135 grain
BUG/Lightweight carry S&W Shield same as above
BBQ / Woods pistol S&W M19 4in Nickel

Because it’s a work of art
DW Valor Commander
.45
Federal 230 grain bonded +p tactical
Considering the Underwood 115 +p+ ?
I like the way the Corbon DPX copper look in + p 185 ?
Not much of a gear guy am I ok ?
I think INGO does not have enough good discussions on ammo choices.
