The year was 2009. A bunch of songs we didn\u2019t like topped the Billboard 100 chart, and movies we never heard of were playing in theaters. Some guy was president. This was also the year that Winchester, one of the world\u2019s leading firearm and ammunition manufacturers, introduced their PDX1<\/strong> line of personal defense ammunition.<\/p>\n

PDX1 Debuts<\/h3>\n

In their late 2008 press release<\/a>, Winchester boasted that the forthcoming Supreme Elite Bonded PDX1 was the FBI\u2019s new choice of primary service ammo. Designed to maximize terminal ballistics as called for by the FBI\u2019s own test protocol, these cartridges were initially available in 9mm, 40 S&W, 45 ACP, and 38 Special.<\/p>\n

What Makes PDX1 Unique<\/h3>\n

\"Shooting<\/p>\n

A PDX1 handgun cartridge offers a host of performance enhancing features that make it one of the end-all solutions for personal defense. The bullet\u2019s jacket and core are welded together via a proprietary bonding process. This ensures they stay united for superior weight retention after penetrating barrier and target alike. The jacket and core continue to remain soundly welded together throughout penetration of soft tissue. This is important as the bullet retains the mass needed to create a deep wound cavity.<\/p>\n

Winchester designed the PDX1 handgun bullet\u2019s hollow point nose cavity to deliver potent expansion after passing through a variety of barriers, as well as over a range of velocities. We get wide, uniform, and reliable expansion thanks to the copper alloy jacket\u2019s six notches, which yield to form a six-pointed star. A PDX1 bullet can expand up to 1.5 times its original diameter!<\/p>\n

Winchester<\/a> would add new cartridges to their PDX1 lineup in coming years. Today you can also get 9mm +P, 38 Special +P, 45 Long Colt, 380 ACP, and 22 WMR handgun loads from the PDX1 label. Winchester now also offers 223 Rem, 7.62×39, and 308 Win PDX1 loads.<\/p>\n
