Popular 9mm Ammo for Self-Defense
9mm Ammo
9mm Luger ammo has been a runaway favorite among concealed carriers and police agencies. In fact, 9x19 is one of the older handgun cartridges on the market with a history dating all the way back to the early 1900's.
The Luger round was used extensively by the Germans in the P08 and P38 handguns. In the U.S., the cartridge can be considered something of a sleeper hit in its early years, only achieving major popularity in the 1980's with the rise of CCW and semiautomatic pistols.
The 9mm Luger ammo you'll find for sale here at Widener's typically features 115, 124, or 147 grain bullets. Heavier bullets offer strong penetration but lower muzzle velocities, with the 147 grain version falling into the subsonic range. 115 or 124 grain jacketed hollow points from Speer, Federal, Winchester, and many other manufacturers produce a muzzle velocity of around 1,100 feet per second and produce relatively mild recoil while still delivering excellent terminal performance. If you like to shoot centerfire ammo in high volumes, the low cost and low recoil of the 9mm makes it your best bet! Generally, you can expect rounds loaded with full metal jacket bullets to be cheaper than the hollow point defensive counterparts with your best buy coming in bulk.
There have been many handguns chambered for the 9mm Luger, but the most popular for concealed carry today are typically compact pistols like the SIG P938, Glock 43, S&W M&P Shield, Springfield XDs, Ruger LC9, and Kahr CW9. Be sure to take a look at our in-stock 9mm ammo below.

Speer Gold Dot G2 9mm 147 Grain JHP – 200 Rounds
$299.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Speer Condition New Bullet Weight 147 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Use Type home defense, Subsonic Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 200 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 24226 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 50004544653291 Cost Per Round $1.5 per round 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! -
