9mm Ammo

Countless gun owners and law enforcement officers trust Speer Gold Dots for their self-defense needs. Gold Dot cartridges feature bullets with a molecularly bonded design and caliber-optimized expansion profiles. They are one of the top choices for police departments in the US.

Each cartridge in this box of 50 fires a medium weight 124 grain hollow point bullet at 1,220 feet per second. This is a +P load and should be used only in firearms rated for the increased pressures. In a self-defense situation, the added velocity gained by +P ammo provides stronger expansion at the cost of increased recoil and muzzle blast. Larger firearms will generally handle these downsides better than compact ones.

Speer Gold Dots are made in Lewiston, Idaho, where Speer has been headquartered for over 50 years. They use non-corrosive Boxer primers and reloadable brass cases with nickel plating for enhanced durability.

Hornady loads their American Gunner series ammunition to deliver seamless functionality out of all makes and models of firearms. So long as your pistol or pistol caliber carbine is chambered for 9mm, this ammo is going to turn it into an effective tool for personal protection. It’s also swell for hunting varmints and predators!

This cartridge features a 115 grain XTP jacketed hollow point. The bullet’s swaged lead core has superbly uniform weight distribution, and Hornady’s jackets are among the most concentric on the market. Those two features make the XTP so balanced that it’s commonly used for competitive shooting as well.

Around the XTP’s rim sit multiple notches, which help the jacket easily split apart into symmetrical sections even after low-velocity impact. The XTP’s jacket is drawn in such a way that leaves no exposed lead around its nose. That helps to prevent a feeding jam, and it also helps the XTP to penetrate a barrier without taking on damage that would have inhibited uniform terminal expansion.

Hornady is an all-American ammo manufacturer. They have produced fine ammo in Nebraska for over 70 years now, and they always load the high-quality brass cases and reliable explosive components smooth performance demands.

Hunting. Personal protection. Law enforcement. When terminal ballistics matter, you can trust the eXtreme Terminal Performance (XTP) projectile by Hornady!

This 9mm +P cartridge is armed with a 124 grain XTP. The jacketed hollow point bullet’s gilding metal shell totally covers the rim of its nose cavity, thus fortifying it for more reliable feeding in a semi-auto. The XTP’s swaged lead core is totally uniform in density, which enables its concentric jacket to achieve peak gyroscopic stability in flight.

The XTP’s shielded nose cavity also prevents premature deformation during impact. As it sinks into soft tissue, the bullet’s skived jacket peels back to produce up to 1.5X diameter expansion. The jacket becomes progressively thicker toward its base to promote exceptionally uniform expansion across a wide range of impact velocities.

Hornady outfits their famous XTP with a premium brass case, responsive primer and even-burning powder to provide the reliable performance which brings peace of mind. Please note that this is overpressure ammo. It generates higher than standard chamber pressure to give its bullet a greater muzzle velocity, flatter trajectory and more energy transferral on impact, but you must make certain your handgun is rated for +P before running this ammo through it!

Designed to be economical enough for training but effective for self-defense, Hornady American Gunner ammunition is a dependable all-round performer. This 9mm Luger +P ammo is ideal for those who carry larger sidearms or want a bit more extra power than standard pressure loads provide.

Each round in this box of 25 fires a 124 grain Hornady XTP jacketed hollow point bullet at 1,200 feet per second. This load delivers very strong terminal performance at the price of above-average recoil for this caliber.

Hornady ammo is loaded in Grand Island, Nebraska using non-corrosive primers and reloadable brass cases.

Founded out of a need for accurate and reliable ammo in the shortage of quality ammo after World War Two, Hornady has striven since day one to provide top of the line ammunition. Since then, they have become a forerunner in quality ammunition.

Hornady's XTP, or Extreme Terminal Performance, jacketed hollow point rounds are a great innovation in self defense ammunition. Designed for smooth flight, controlled expansion, and massive terminal expansion, these rounds will stop anything that tries to harm you. In addition, these rounds are boxer primed and brass cased, giving them reloading capabilities. With these reloadable, 124 grain, Hornady Custom, 9mm rounds, you will have no trouble protecting your family.

The 9mm was developed in the German Empire in 1902 and has been become one of the most popular cartridges in the world. Used throughout both World Wars and among law enforcement agencies and civilians for over a century, this phenomenal round has proven itself reliable and effective. Whether you are looking to defend your family or want a round with a manageable recoil to shoot at the range, the 9mm is the way to go.

Hornady has been around since 1949 and has a reputation for providing premium projectiles and finished ammunition. All of Honrady's products are proudly made in the USA using premium components.

These Hornady Custom rounds feature 147 grain XTP jacketed hollow point projectiles. The XTP bullet design offers a great balance between penetration and reliable expansion. Each bullet is pressed into a boxer primed brass casing that is reloadable. If you rely on your 9mm handgun for personal protection, you don't want to use anything but the best.

An excellent choice if you're in search of a great 9mm Luger (9x19) round for home defense. This New Black Hills Ammunition ammo comes loaded with a 124 Grain Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) along with a Boxer primer that's loaded in a Brass case. With this package, you'll receive 20 rounds ready to fire. Plus, you know it'll come fast from our warehouse to your door because we know shooting ammo is a lot more fun than looking at it online or waiting on delivery!

These standard pressure 9mm Luger rounds from Black Hills are a great choice for concealed carry or home defense with a suppressed pistol. As part of their red box line, Black Hills loads these rounds in factory-new brass casings that are reloadable and equipped with non-corrosive Boxer primers. The brass casing is home to clean-burning powder and a 124-grain jacketed hollow point (JHP) from Hornady's XTP design. XTP hollow points are known to expand reliably at a wide array of impact distances, causing distinct damage by driving energy into the body instead of letting the bullet fly straight through a target.

124 grains is a common weight for the 9mm caliber, especially in NATO loadings, due to its balance between manageable recoil, flat flight path, and final terminal momentum. These rounds are loaded to produce a muzzle velocity of 1,150 feet-per-second; this is a subsonic speed that pairs well with silencers since it won't produce a supersonic crack. Black Hills ammunition has a great reputation among serious competitors, military units, and even firearms manufacturers that use their products to test finished guns for accuracy.

Since right after World War Two, Hornady has been providing quality ammunition for all. Founded out of the need for accurate and reliable ammo, when virtually all that was available was low quality, military surplus ammunition, Hornady has continued to stay true to their mission and come to the forefront of the ammo world.

If you are looking for fantastic, self defense ammunition, Hornady Custom XTP is the round for you. XTP stands for "Extreme Terminal Performance," and this ammo does just that. These 124 grain, jacketed hollow point bullets are designed to have maximum, controlled, terminal expansion and steady trajectory. Not only is this brand exceptional, the 9mm is also a fantastic self defense round, recently declared by the FBI to be the best round of all. These phenomenal rounds are perfect for defending yourself.

Many 9mm cartridges are designed to quickly neutralize a threat. Hornady Subsonic 9mm is no exception – it’s just specifically optimized to neutralize a threat indoors.

This cartridge has a softer report. Its chamber pressure meets SAAMI specs, but its heavyweight 147 grain bullet comes nowhere close to breaking the sound barrier. A cartridge which doesn’t sound a supersonic cracking report will enhance a suppressor’s functionality, though it’s still going to make a firearm operate more quietly even if it’s not sporting a suppressor.

This cartridge also has flash-suppressed propellant. Less muzzle flash means less of the light that can blind you in the dark, which in turn preserves your ability to direct rapid and accurate fire at the threat.

The XTP is a match accurate jacketed hollow point for self-defense. Its jacket is divided into symmetrical sections by strategically placed notches, and it gets thinner the closer it gets to the nose cavity. These two features ensure that the XTP widens out in uniform directions while still penetrating deeply.

This premium home defense ammo is also suitable for varmint hunting – especially if you’re doing the job with a suppressed carbine!

Designed in 1902, the 9mm has been around for more than one hundred years and is one of the most popular cartridges in the world. If you are looking for something to defend your family, then the 9mm is a great choice. In 2015, the FBI declared that the 9mm is the best round on the market for self defense.

Hornady has been since 1949 and is one of the world's best ammunition manufacturers. Headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska, all of Hornady's components and finished ammunition are loaded in this USA.

These 9mm rounds feature the XTP jacketed hollow point projectile that weighs in at 147 grains. You can expect to see muzzle velocities around 975 feet per second and a nice balance of penetration and expansion. Hornady uses non-corrosive boxer primers and reloadable brass casings.

Hornady Subsonic 9mm ammunition is designed to give any suppressed pistol the performance it needs to excel at home defense applications. But even if your pistol is unsuppressed, you’ll still find that this ammo has got a lot to offer!

Hornady’s XTP bullet is often favored by match shooters due to its excellent accuracy, which is largely the product of its uniformly distributed swaged lead core and concentric copper jacket. But as a jacketed hollow point, the XTP is also designed for terminal expansion. It mushrooms especially reliably thanks to its notched jacket, which splits apart evenly to give way to uniform expansion. The jacket is also tapered to help guide consistent expansion while simultaneously providing the weight retention needed for effectually deep penetration.

This round’s 147 grain bullet is heavy. It still builds up sufficient chamber pressure to cycle a semi-auto, but it also prevents ignition from sounding a supersonic cracking report. Flash-suppressed powder will produce less light, which is of especial benefit if you wish to conserve your eyesight in low-light conditions. The XTP’s fully jacketed rim and Hornady’s consistent brass cases, Boxer primers and propellant charges all do their parts to support reliable functionality in all makes and models of semi-autos.

Attention: Although this ammo typically features nickel-plated brass cases, supply chain issues have forced Hornady to temporarily load it with non-plated cases.

Hornady Critical Defense ammunition delivers strong penetration and expansion to stop attackers quickly and remove threats to life and limb. These cartridges come in a case of 250 and fire the Flex Tip jacketed hollow point bullet. The Flex Tip has a polymer nose inserted in the expansion cavity to provide more reliable feeding and better terminal ballistics.

Each round in this case fires a 115 grain version of the Flex Tip at a muzzle velocity of 1,135 feet per second. This is a standard pressure load that works well with compact concealed carry firearms.

Hornady ammo is loaded in Grand Island, Nebraska using non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases.

That 9mm pistol of yours? It’s no more effective at defending you than a small rock would be … until it’s loaded with the right ammo, that is.

Your personal safety’s too valuable to experiment with. Instead of questionable ammo from somewhere lame, buy Federal Premium’s unquestionably high-quality 9mm cartridges from our cool website.

It’s named “Punch,” but this round does something far more powerful than that. Its 115 grain bullet gains 1,180 fps muzzle velocity and 356 ft lbs muzzle energy out of a 4” barrel – or much more, in the case of a PCC. Its strong, drawn copper jacket and alloyed lead core make the Punch JHP robust enough to defeat common barriers. Arrival within soft tissue forces the bullet’s jacket to split open, peeling back six flat-tipped petals as it gives way to broad expansion.

This ammo is supersonic, noncorrosive, reloadable, and fresh out of Federal’s Minnesota factory, and it features a little bonus: sealed primers, for added peace of mind in a world that is 71% water.

Hornady Critical Duty ammunition is designed to stop an assailant consistently even when barriers like vehicle glass and sheet metal get in the way. Critical Duty rounds fire FlexLock bullets with a soft polymer insert that keeps material from clogging the hollow point and impairing the projectile's performance. The FlexLock also features the Interlock band to keep the core and jacket tightly bound together to prevent any risk of separation.

Each cartridge in this case of 250 (ideal for training) fires a heavy 135 grain version of the FlexLock at a muzzle velocity of 1,010 feet per second. This is a standard pressure load that will perform well in compact pistols without generating too much felt recoil.

Critical Duty ammunition is loaded in Grand Island, Nebraska using non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases which are nickel plated for additional durability over long periods of carry.

Attention: Although this ammo typically features nickel-plated brass cases, supply chain issues have forced Hornady to temporarily load it with non-plated cases.

When you want your self-defense load to be as dependable as possible, your friends at Hornady are just the ones to turn to. This 9mm Critical Defense round is designed to feed, chamber and extract like clockwork, as well as deliver consistent recoil and ballistic performance with every trigger pull. The round’s sensitive primer reliably ignites its clean burning propellant, which is specially formulated to limit muzzle flash that would have impacted your night vision.

You can count on this round’s bullet to see you through a perilous encounter as well. It’s lightweight at only 115 grains, so recoil won’t throw your aim off too much. It’s also an FTX, which has a pliant polymer tip that will prevent the bullet’s hollow point nose cavity from choking on fabric before it can expand. The same tip also initiates violent expansion during penetration, so you’ll have the stopping power it takes to level threats fast. It’s peace of mind like only Hornady could provide, and you can depend on Wideners to ship fast and painlessly as well!

9mm Luger (9x19) ammo complete with Brass cases and a Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) projectile. Manufactured by Corbon to the highest of standards with a Boxer primer and 115 Grain bullet, the quality components come together and add up to a round that's great for home defense. You'll get 20 rounds shipped fast when you order this today.

True to its name, this 9mm cartridge from Hornady’s Critical Defense Lite label sports a lightweight 100 grain projectile. This reduces recoil, a feature of great value to those who carry a compact firearm for personal protection and would like to lessen the recoil they’re going to incur.

This round’s FTX projectile is wholly up to the task of personal protection. It’s a hollow point bullet with soft, pink polymer inside of its nose cavity that prevents clogging during penetration and afterward facilitates reliable, intensely harmful expansion. The “Flex Tip” is pink because Hornady donates part of the proceeds they make from their Critical Defense Lite line of ammo to breast cancer research!

Danger could strike at any moment, but it’s worst when it strikes in the dark. That’s why this round’s propellant charge is formulated to generate very little light when ignited -- with reduced muzzle flash, your first shot in the dark won’t be the last you’re capable of aiming properly!

Hornady’s top shelf brass cases, noncorrosive Boxer primers and low-fouling propellant are all engineered with outstanding reliability in mind. The Nebraskan outfit’s quality assurance team is very exacting, so you can take heart that this case of ammo contains 250 of the best solutions for personal protection with a smaller pistol on the market!

If you ever have to defend your own life, you’ll have plenty to worry about without adding heavy recoil to the list. Hornady Critical Defense Lite series 9mm ammunition is engineered to produce extremely light recoil – optimal if your physique falls on the smaller end of the spectrum, or you prefer a subcompact handgun for personal protection.

This round doesn’t use strange tricks to produce significantly lighter felt recoil. You see, recoil energy is determined by four factors: firearm weight, bullet weight, propellant weight and muzzle velocity. This round’s 1,125 fps muzzle velocity out of a 4” barrel is normal for a 115 grain projectile. But because its bullet weighs only 100 grains, it simply can’t kick the shooter with very much recoil!

The bullet is Hornady’s own FTX. It is a jacketed hollow point, with a skived jacket that splits apart to ensure reliable terminal expansion. The FTX’s nose cavity contains a polymer cylinder that prevents fabric from obstructing it and compromising its ability to expand within soft tissue. (The polymer is bubblegum pink because Hornady donates a portion of their proceeds from this ammo to breast cancer research!)

Hornady loads this ammo in Nebraska with superb brass cases and Boxer primers, as well as low-flash propellant that won’t instantly blind you should you have to open fire in a dark setting.

If you are looking to defend yourself, you can't go wrong with Hornady. Founded out of the desire to provide quality ammunition to the public in the aftermath of World War Two, Hornady has become a well loved and reliable company.

Hornady's Critical Duty line of ammo features their FlexLock jacketed hollow point bullet, which is engineered to provide maximum expansion and damage, insuring that whatever danger you come across is stopped. These reloadable, brass cased, boxer primed 9mm +P rounds are some of the best self defense rounds you will find. Firing at 1110 feet per second, these 135 grain rounds are too good to pass up, so why not grab 10 boxes of 25 while you're at it?

Why take any chances on your everyday carry weapon’s ammunition when you can order Hornady Critical Duty 9mm +P ammo instead? This law enforcement grade ammo is loaded to extremely high standards for quality, performance and reliability.

This cartridge is outfitted with Hornady’s own FlexLock bullet. The 124 grain JHP features a Flex Tip, which is essentially a polymer plug that keeps the nose cavity unobstructed by debris in the event that the FlexLock has to penetrate a barrier before reaching its target. The FlexLock is even better equipped to defeat barriers thanks to its InterLock band, which keeps its jacket and high-antimony lead core from separating from one another. As the FlexLock retains all the weight it needs to penetrate its target deeply, its Flex Tip presses into its nose cavity to yield wide terminal expansion. The FlexLock even boasts great accuracy, especially as its cannelure prevents setback in the case.

Critical Duty cartridges feature nickel-plated brass cases to reduce friction as a semi-auto feeds and ejects. In addition to promoting smoother functionality, this ammo’s nickel-plated cases protect it against corrosion and make it more visible in the dark.

This is +P ammunition. Its higher chamber pressure gives it more recoil, a flatter trajectory and more energy on impact. Please ensure your firearm is rated for +P before firing this ammo in it.

Hornady has successfully created a truly advanced handgun defense round that promises reliable urban barrier performance. The reputable FTX Flex Tip bullet design eliminates clogging and helps expansion upon impact. The InterLock band keeps the bullet and core from separating for weight retention and maximum terminal performance.

The Xtreme Defender bullet is specially designed for self-defense applications – although it does not expand inside soft tissue. Instead of a hollow point nose cavity the bullet features multiple flutes in its shank. These engage soft tissue and jet them outward to create a cavernous wound cavity.

The 90 grain bullet is made out of solid copper. It can’t deposit lead residue inside a semi-auto’s barrel, its nose profile promotes more reliable feeding, and it’s immune to becoming clogged up with debris that could have impacted a hollow point bullet’s terminal performance. So resilient a bullet penetrates soft tissue as deeply as 18” – which falls right within the FBI’s test protocol guidelines.

Underwood makes their Xtreme Defender round even more reliable by loading it with a nickel-plated brass case. This slick plating generates very little friction as the round feeds and extracts, which helps to prevent jamming. Nickel is furthermore corrosion resistant, and its sheen makes the round easier to see in the chamber under poor lighting.

9mm +P ammunition is loaded to a higher pressure than regular 9mm. That gives this round a flatter trajectory, as well as more energy to exert throughout impact and subsequent penetration. Modern 9mm handguns can safely absorb an overpressure round’s greater energy, but please check if your firearm is rated for +P before firing this ammo in it.

Here is some of the most powerful 9mm ammo on the commercial market, courtesy of our friends over at Underwood of Sparta, Illinois! This is 9mm +P+ ammo, to be more precise, which generates too intense a chamber pressure to be safely fired in some firearms. But if your handgun can handle it, it’s going to deal quite the hefty dose of damage to game or a threat.

This round’s Xtreme Defender bullet weighs a mere 90 grains, which also contributes to its blistering fast muzzle velocity. The Xtreme Defender is lightweight because it is lead-free. As a solid copper monolithic bullet it cannot deposit lead residue in the barrel, nor has it got a core and jacket that could detach from one another during penetration. The Xtreme Defender consistently pierces up to 18” deep before coming to a rest within soft tissue!

The Xtreme Defender doesn’t just effectively penetrate barriers and soft tissue. Its unique drill bit profile forces fluid and soft tissue inward just before expelling them outward at extremely high velocities. This produces a cavernous wound channel inside of soft tissue, accompanied by massive internal trauma that will stop even the fiercest attacker dead in their tracks. And because the Xtreme Defender lacks a nose cavity that could clog up with debris, it reduces the chance of potentially catastrophic overpenetration!

Underwood’s ammo is great for nighttime protection. Their reduced flash powder emits a dimmer muzzle flash, so it poses less risk of deacclimating your eyesight to low lighting. This ammo additionally features nickel-plated brass cases to promote smoother cycling and protect against corrosion.

Winchester has created the tools Americans need to defend themselves since 1866. The technology has improved considerably over the decades. Winchester Defender ammo represents the very best the American Legend can do by their customers!

This is 9mm +P ammunition, which is loaded to a higher than normal chamber pressure. If your firearm is rated for +P, then this ammo will make it kick harder and wear out its moving parts a little faster – but also deliver a flatter trajectory and considerably more kinetic energy on impact!

This round’s 147 grain JHP features a bonded jacket. Its core and jacket are welded together, which ensures the bullet retains the combined weight and momentum necessary for deep penetration. As the JHP’s nose cavity fills with pressurized fluid, its notched jacket splits apart along six lines to yield devastating 1.5x expansion.

Winchester’s premium self-defense cartridges sport nickel-plated brass cases. These are more resistant to corrosion than bare brass cases, and also reduce friction throughout the cycling process to help prevent failures to feed and extract.

This is a great round for home defense. From Winchester, this 9mm Luger (9x19) ammunition is New with a Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) 124 Grain bullet. You'll get 20 rounds of Nickel-Plated Brass cased ammo that's ready for your next trip out to shoot. Like every round for sale, we stand behind this ammo and have your back so rest assured you're not only getting a good deal, you're getting the peace of mind that comes along with a trusted supplier.

A bullet doesn’t need to expand in order to produce a much wider wound channel than its original diameter alone could account for. This 9mm ammunition by Underwood proves it!

This round features the 90 grain Xtreme Defender projectile. It is very light because it is lead-free, and its monolithic copper design at once makes it clean-shooting, balanced and extremely resilient. The Xtreme Defender punches through barriers easily, so it can reliably reach threats that are shielded by thick clothing, wallboard or even auto glass.

The Xtreme Defender lacks a nose cavity. Its nose profile makes it easier for a semi-automatic to feed without jamming, and it is also immune to becoming plugged up with debris. The monolithic bullet has multiple radial flutes machined around its tip. These force any fluid which the bullet comes into contact with to rapidly jet outward, creating a wide and instantaneous wound cavity that will quickly neutralize even the most determined threat. The Xtreme Defender consistently penetrates to depths as great as 18”, thus assuring a clean break to the vitals.

Underwood loads this 9mm ammo with nickel-plated brass cases for superior corrosion resistance and more reliable cycling through a semi-auto. They also load low-flash propellant that will preserve your night vision – very helpful in case you ever have to defend yourself in the dark.

Your personal safety demands nothing less than the best – and Federal Personal Defense HST is quite arguably the very best 9mm +P ammunition on the market. Make no mistake: this is the same stuff Federal sells to law enforcement agencies. Only the packaging is different!

This cartridge’s 124 grain jacketed hollow point is Federal’s own HST. The HST features a hollow point nose cavity that is designed to initiate expansion following penetration of several different barriers. The HST reliably expands in diameter by 50% after passing through tough safety glass! And because of its jacket (not bonded, but intensely tough nevertheless), the HST is capable of retaining over 90% of its weight after penetrating heavy fabric, sheet steel, drywall and plywood alike.

Each Personal Defense HST cartridge features a high-quality reloadable brass case with a high-performance primer and nickel plating to promote more reliable functionality in a semi-automatic. This ammo’s propellant is formulated to emit a duller muzzle flash – optimal if you wish to avoid becoming blinded by your own gunfire.

This is overpressure ammunition. Its 1,200 fps muzzle velocity (which was recorded with a 4” test barrel) ensures ~350 ft lbs of striking energy at 25 yards, but also produces too much chamber pressure for antique handguns to safely contain. Make certain your pistol is rated for +P before ordering this ammo!

When you are looking for a reliable self-defense 9mm Luger round, pickup a few of these 20-count boxes from Speer. You’ll have cartridges that use 115-grain jacketed hollow points to deliver outstanding terminal ballistics, and thanks to a high-quality case and primer, these rounds will cycle smoothly and ignite consistently.

These rounds are extremely reliable for both internal performance and external ballistics. They have a muzzle velocity of 1,210 feet per second and a muzzle energy of 374 foot pounds. The Gold Dot jacketed hollow point ensures consistent and controlled expansion, while the speed and energy ensures reliable penetration. When it comes to outstanding home protection, few rounds can match these Gold Dot 9mm Luger rounds.

Speer is one of the most trusted ammunition brands for self-defense and law enforcement cartridges. They are a top choice for many different calibers and are part of the Vista Outdoors group.

New firearm owners often ask us to recommend the best ammunition for self-defense. We typically suggest a few – but when we have Federal Premium’s Personal Defense HST in stock, it always tops our list. This is exactly the same 9mm +P ammunition Federal supplies to law enforcement agencies; only its packaging is different.

This 9mm +P cartridge’s 124 grain jacketed hollow point bullet is designed to feed smoothly and exhibit superior accuracy, but that’s only the start of what makes it great for personal defense. Its nose cavity is engineered to resist getting blocked up with debris on impact. Its jacket and core are highly resilient, and resist fragmenting apart following high-velocity impact. That ensures the bullet remains able to penetrate deeply enough to effectively neutralize a threat.

As the JHP encounters resistance from soft tissue, it quickly expands. When it plunges into ballistic gelatin, it increases from its original 0.355” diameter to 0.870”; if the bullet must penetrate multiple layers of fabric before entering the gelatin, it still expands to a diameter of 0.610”.

This ammo is loaded in Minnesota with Federal’s highest-quality primers and propellant, as well as corrosion resistant and smooth-cycling nickel-plated brass cases. This is overpressure ammunition. Its heightened chamber pressure will produce a flatter trajectory and inflict greater damage to the target, but it will also damage a firearm that is not rated for +P. Please consult your firearm’s manual or manufacturer before ordering, or ask your friendly expert at Widener’s!

This 9mm cartridge from Federal’s Personal Defense line of ammunition is brimming with features that make it an absolutely ideal solution for self-defense. Its 147 grain HST projectile has a cannelure to mechanically lock its jacket and core together, enabling it to retain nearly all of its weight as it bores through a soft target. The cutting petals it produces during penetration will completely incapacitate a threat, and it’s designed to penetrate to an efficacious depth without dangerously overpenetrating. Finally, the HST’s nose cavity resists clogging with fabric on impact so that it can expand reliably.

This cartridge feeds with certainty in a semi-automatic firearm thanks both to its specially designed nose profile and its brass casing’s smooth nickel plating. That plating further protects this round from corroding and becoming useless as the result. Federal’s sensitive primer ensures proper ignition with every pull of the trigger, and their propellant predictably ignites to produce a consistent 1,000 fps muzzle velocity.

This 9mm cartridge by Speer showcases the powerful terminal performance of the Gold Dot G2 projectile. The G2’s nose cavity is relatively shallow, but it holds a bit of high-performance elastomer. When the bullet connects with its target that rubbery substance will force itself down deep within the pressure formed core’s internal fissures, forcing them apart to create extremely uniform expansion.

The G2 bullet carries over the classic Gold Dot’s electrochemically fused jacket. Nigh inseparable from its core, the G2’s jacket ensures deep penetration so that its expansion can do exceptional damage to vitals. So tough a jacket further lets the G2 retain essentially all of its weight even if it must pass through sheet metal before connecting with a threat!

Speer gave this round a nickel plated brass casing, so you needn’t worry so much about salt and other adverse elements affecting its more sensitive components. Nickel’s reduced friction promotes smooth cycling in a semi-automatic as well, making this a dependable cartridge indeed!

With strong penetration and high diameter expansion, this 9mm Luger ammunition from Winchester is a formidable choice for self-defense. These cartridges fire bonded-core PDX1 bullets, which are designed to minimize the risk of core-jacket separation and the loss of terminal performance that this entails.

Each round in this box of 20 fires a heavy 147 grain PDX1 jacketed hollow point bullet at a subsonic muzzle velocity of 1,000 feet per second. The weight of the bullet improves penetration compared to other 9mm Parabellum loads.

This ammo is loaded in Oxford, Mississippi using non-corrosive Boxer primers and nickel-plated brass cases.

The 9mm Luger has been around since 1902 when it was developed in Germany. It was an instant success and was recently declared to be the best round for self defense by the FBI. Whether you are looking for something for self defense or just want something without a big recoil for the range, the 9mm Luger provides just the option you are looking for.

When you want high quality ammunition, Barnes is the way to go. Leading the field in lead free ammunition, their rounds are even more effective than lead ammo. With these Barnes TAC-XPD, 9mm Luger +P, 115 grain, solid copper hollow point, reloadable rounds, firing at 1100 feet per second, you have exceptionally massive expansion and penetration, making for better results and keeping your family safer than ever.

Your everyday carry needs to have reliable, knock-down power if it’s going to do you any good when life attacks. That’s why Federal offers this round from their Personal Defense line of ammunition with a 147 grain HST projectile. The HST’s ability to deliver catastrophic terminal performance won’t be hindered by common barriers -- its special nose cavity is designed to prevent itself from becoming clogged up. This bullet expands to extend six sharp petals as it tunnels through its target, and it penetrates to the ideal depth for neutralizing a human-sized target while retaining nearly 100 percent of its weight.

This round’s factory fresh casing is made of brass, and thus perfect for handloading. The casing’s nickel plating poses multiple benefits to its performance: It promotes smooth feeding in a semi-automatic weapon, resists corrosion when confronted with moisture, and makes an on the fly chamber check easier to perform in the dark.
