1000 Rounds of 124gr JHP 9mm +P Ammo by Federal

Are you looking for the very best 9mm +P ammunition for self-defense? Federal Premium Personal Defense HST is always one of our top recommendations. This is law enforcement grade ammo which Federal also offers to the civilian market, and it’s specifically designed to excel at the FBI test protocol for duty ammunition.

The HST jacketed hollow point is able to remain effective after passing through a wide range of barriers. Its jacket and core resist fragmenting apart, thus assuring the bullet retains virtually 100 percent of its weight. That is how it consistently penetrates to a depth between 14 and 16 inches. Its nose cavity is also engineered to avoid clogging with fabric and other debris, which preserves its ability to produce rapid terminal expansion. Long notches strategically weaken the HST JHP’s jacket, thus assuring it guides rapid and uniform positive expansion even at lower penetration velocities.

The smooth-feeding HST bullet is seated in a high-quality brass case, which is plated with low-friction, corrosion resistant and highly visible nickel. Premium primers and propellant provide reliable ignition, recoil and ballistic performance. The overpressure cartridge gives its 124 grain projectile a high enough velocity to transfer nearly 300 ft lbs of kinetic energy to its target at 75 yards. (Federal used a 4” test barrel to record this round’s 1,200 fps muzzle velocity; please note that 9mm +P ammunition must only be fired in handguns that are rated for +P.)
