Description
Product Overview
Engineered for the highest standards of terminal performance, the Federal Premium Personal Defense 9mm Luger +P Ammunition with 124 Grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point is a professional-grade defensive load available in a convenient 200-round case. This ammunition is designed for responsible citizens who prioritize reliable performance in a personal or home defense scenario. The +P designation indicates a higher-pressure loading that delivers increased velocity and energy, making the 124-grain HST projectile an optimal choice for modern semi-automatic handguns. Its primary use is for lawful self-defense, offering the consistent, barrier-blind expansion and deep penetration that have made it a benchmark in the industry.
Key Features
- 124-Grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point: The patented HST (Hydra-Shok Two) bullet is engineered to deliver massive, consistent expansion and optimum penetration, typically between 12-18 inches in ballistic gelatin, without over-penetrating.
- Barrier-Blind Performance: The specially designed hollow point cavity resists plugging when passing through common barriers like heavy clothing, drywall, or sheet metal, ensuring reliable expansion when it matters most.
- Near 100% Weight Retention: The bullet’s jacket and core are mechanically locked to hold together through impact, retaining nearly all of its original 124-grain mass to drive deep and transfer energy effectively.
- +P Loading: This over-pressure cartridge provides a higher muzzle velocity compared to standard pressure 9mm, enhancing the bullet’s expansion potential and terminal performance in a compact defensive package.
- Nickel-Plated Brass Case: The nickel finish offers superior corrosion resistance, ensures smooth feeding and extraction in semi-automatic firearms, and allows for easy visual identification of your defense ammo at a glance.
- Law Enforcement Proven: This is not a theoretical design; Federal HST is widely adopted and trusted by law enforcement agencies nationwide, validating its real-world performance and reliability.
Performance & Applications
The Federal 124gr +P HST is engineered for specific, high-stakes applications where performance cannot be left to chance. Its design parameters make it suited for several key roles.
Primary Carry & Home Defense: For the armed citizen, this ammunition provides confidence. The 124-grain weight offers a balance between recoil management and ballistic effectiveness. The +P velocity aids in reliable hollow-point expansion across a wide range of barrel lengths, from full-size duty pistols to compact carry guns, ensuring your chosen firearm performs as intended.
Duty & Defensive Training: Purchasing a 200-round case allows for a practical ammo management strategy. After functionally testing and loading your magazines for defense, the remaining rounds can be used for periodic proficiency training. This practice confirms your firearm’s reliable cycling with your chosen defense load and lets you experience its unique recoil impulse and point of impact, which may differ slightly from practice FMJ ammunition.
