50 Rounds of 117gr JHP 9mm Ammo by Aguila

When it comes to self-defense there are many factors to consider. Obviously it’s a must to have appropriate training both in safety and marksmanship, but there’s more to it than that. You also need to consider what caliber and model of gun you’re going to carry, how you’ll carry it, and, of course, whether you’re truly capable of using it. Once you’ve covered those bases, there’s still something left: ammunition. Target rounds are just that: for targets. They don’t expand on impact and are notorious for creating through-and-throughs, meaning they could penetrate and hit an innocent bystander. Defense rounds expand on impact while simultaneously decelerating, so they both create a deeper, more devastating wound and slow down, which prevents over-penetration.

These defense rounds are made by Aguila, a company with a history that stretches back to 1961. Aguila is a subsidiary of TECNOS, a company based in Mexico. TECNOS was originally started by Remington, and, in fact, Remington trained the first TECNOS employees. After the first few years Remington left the factory and no longer has anything to do with it. TECNOS is known for producing competitively priced ammunition and distributing it globally, and thanks to their Remington roots they’re well versed in what it takes to produce quality products.

At 117 grain these 9mm rounds are lightweight. Being lighter enables them to reach higher speeds, but they do still retain enough weight to make a decent mark on impact. These are Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) rounds: their jackets control expansion, allowing them to penetrate more deeply than standard HPs and create a larger, more devastating wound cavity. Each round has a muzzle velocity of 1155 feet per second. This ammunition is designed for self-defense. There are 50 defense rounds in the box which is just right for keeping your gun and spare mags loaded and ready for personal protection. Place your order now to be truly prepared.
