9mm Ammo

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Speer went above and beyond making this 9mm round’s 147 grain Gold Dot projectile. Its jacket is applied to its alloyed lead core electrochemically via the proprietary Uni-Cor process, so it is not only intensely concentric to guarantee its straight flight, but furthermore bonded so it can exhibit impressive weight retention as it penetrates barriers and burrows deeply within its target. Speer forms a Gold Dot’s nose cavity over the course of a two step process, which imbues it with preexisting fault lines that direct expansion and ensure it mushrooms at the ideal rate for lethal terminal effect. The Gold Dot’s profile is further engineered to promote accuracy as well as smooth feeding in a semi-automatic.

This round features a nickel plated brass casing. Nickel’s superior lubricity lets the casing slip in and out of a semi-automatic’s chamber fluidly, and additionally protects it from corroding in response to exposure to atmospheric moisture. Nickel is also easier to spot during a chamber check in the dark, which along with this round’s low-flash propellant makes it an ideal companion should you ever have to defend yourself in the nighttime.
