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.

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.

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 Subsonic 9mm 147 Grain XTP JHP – 250 Rounds
$264.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 147 Grain Bullet Type XTP Use Type home defense, Subsonic Casing Type Brass Quantity 250 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 90287 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255902874 Cost Per Round $1.06 per round 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! -

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! -

Hornady Critical Defense Lite 9mm 100 Grain FTX – 250 Rounds

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! -
Hornady Subsonic 9mm 147 Grain XTP JHP – 25 Rounds
$27.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 147 Grain Bullet Type XTP Use Type home defense, Subsonic Casing Type Brass Quantity 25 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 90287 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 90255902877 Cost Per Round $1.11 per round 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. -
Hornady Critical Defense Lite 9mm 100 Grain FTX – 25 Rounds

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.Customer Reviews

Hornady Critical Duty 9mm 135 Grain FlexLock JHP – 250 Rounds
$289.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 135 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Use Type home defense, Subsonic Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 250 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 90236 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255902362 Cost Per Round $1.16 per round 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.Customer Reviews

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. -

Underwood 9mm +P 90 Grain Xtreme Defender – 20 Rounds
$25.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Underwood Condition New Bullet Weight 90 Grain Bullet Type Solid Copper Use Type home defense Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 816 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 816874020132 Cost Per Round $1.29 per round 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. -
Federal Hydra-Shok Deep 9mm 135 Grain JHP – 20 Rounds

Its 135 grain jacketed hollow point projectile features an even more robust center post than the original Hydra-Shok bullet -- that means it’s able to withstand penetration through very rugged barriers as it travels to its target. The Hydra-Shok Deep bullet provides devastating expansion during penetration, and it penetrates reliably to 15” within bare ballistic gel. That depth is considered optimal by modern FBI standards, and greatly reduces the risk of overpenetration that could put innocent bystanders in harm’s way.
This round’s nickel plated brass casing causes it to feed smoothly in semi-automatic weapons, and is also more visible in low light environments for convenient on the fly chamber checks. Its propellant is specially formulated to deliver a consistent muzzle velocity of 1,060 fps, and its Federal primer is reliable enough to guarantee a shot when you pull the trigger. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better round for your everyday carry! -

$26.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Underwood Condition New Bullet Weight 90 Grain Bullet Type Solid Copper Use Type home defense Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 817 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 816874020149 Cost Per Round $1.34 per round 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. -

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. -

Underwood 9mm 90 Grain Xtreme Defender – 20 Rounds
$27.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Underwood Condition New Bullet Weight 90 Grain Bullet Type Solid Copper Use Type home defense Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 815 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 816874020125 Cost Per Round $1.39 per round 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. -

Speer Gold Dot 9mm 124 Grain JHP - 20 Rounds
$30.00Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Speer Condition New Bullet Weight 124 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Use Type home defense Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 23618GD Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544647235 Cost Per Round $1.5 per round These 9mm Luger cartridges from Speer's Gold Dot line are among some of the best choices of ammunition for concealed carry. Each round is made using a non-corrosive Boxer primer that is mounted to the base of a reloadable brass casing. Both case and primer are plated with nickel in order to resist corrosion and make feeding and extraction more reliable when dealing with hot, fouled chambers. The powder inside each case is laced with flash suppressant which helps to preserve a shooter's vision when shooting in dimly light situations.
Speer crowns the cartridge with a 124-grain hollow point bullet that has a copper jacket molecularly bonded to its lead core. 124 grains is a medium weight for the 9x19mm and faithfully matches many NATO loads for a balance between recoil, flat trajectory, and impact energy. During entry into a target, the bonded hollow point bullet will experience massive expansion for great momentum transfer into vitals with very little over-penetration. Speer Gold Dots are also known to retain their ability to expand after penetrating through layers of denim and leather.

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.Customer Reviews
