50 Rounds of 115gr +P+ JHP 9mm Ammo by Magtech

While 9mm is a caliber with a large following, it doesn’t necessarily have quite the knockdown power all shooters are looking for when it comes to loading their mags for personal protection. +P+, or overpressure, rounds give self-defense shooters a power boost for their chosen caliber. These specialized defense rounds are packed to a higher pressure following SAAMI guidelines and have even greater power than +P rounds. And while they are higher pressure, they shouldn’t be confused with proof test cartridges or the massive load of a magnum round.

Magtech was founded in 1926 and manufactures ammunition at their plant in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Much like the 9mm, they have a global following, and their plant is vertically integrated so they can produce all the necessary components on site. So when this ammunition is produced, you can be sure every step of production takes place under the expertise of the Magtech team. After all, with ammunition sold in more than 50 countries and world renown for their materials and techniques, you can order with confidence when Magtech’s name is on the box.

Aside from their +P+ pressure, these are also JHP defense rounds, meaning they have greater strength. In addition, the jacket strength prevents the kind of lead fouling you can get with certain rounds. At 115 grain, they’re lightweight, lending them extra speed capabilities. They have a muzzle velocity of 1,246 feet per second and, thanks to their extra pressure, a muzzle energy of 397 foot-pounds. You get 50 defense rounds in this box, so you can put a few rounds down-range to get the feel of it and still have enough left to load your gun for personal protection.
