Federal Premium HST cartridges are one of the best options you can choose for your 9mm Luger defensive firearms. The HST cartridge design uses a jacketed hollow-point (JHP) projectile with a large cavity surrounded by relatively long segments in the copper jacket; this promotes wide expansion on impact with the threat, producing a larger cavity for a more positive stop. These 9mm bullets weigh 124 grains which is a NATO-standard medium weight for the caliber and will leave the muzzle at 1,150 for proper penetration.

In addition, these cartridges feature new brass casings which are nickel coated for smooth and reliable feeding. Furthermore, casings are crimped to the projectile cannelure to prevent bullet setback. The powder fueling HST rounds has flash suppressant in its mixture so that a shooter can maintain situation awareness and perform more accurate follow-up shots.

Hornady ammo is produced in Grand Island, Nebraska using non-corrosive primers and reloadable brass.

Ammo Inc. has a mission: to load ammunition that performs like high-end handloads, and to sell it for very competitive prices. The American manufacturer pulls this off while meeting or exceeding all SAAMI specifications, and every component and cartridge they produce comes from Arizona or Wisconsin. (A hot state, and a cold state – good pairing.)

This round’s 115 grain jacketed hollow point bullet provides the fine accuracy and low recoil you want working on your side while you’re fighting an assailant. The JHP’s concentric copper jacket and uniform lead core keep it balanced in flight. Its notched nose cavity expands quickly to deal a devastating blow to any soft tissue that overlaps with its terminal trajectory. At close range you’re certain to meet or exceed the 300 ft lbs minimum energy delivery recommended for personal protection!

Founded out of a need for accurate and reliable ammo in the shortage of quality ammo after World War Two, Hornady has striven since day one to provide top of the line ammunition. Since then, they have become a forerunner in quality ammunition.

Hornady's XTP, or Extreme Terminal Performance, jacketed hollow point rounds are a great innovation in self defense ammunition. Designed for smooth flight, controlled expansion, and massive terminal expansion, these rounds will stop anything that tries to harm you. In addition, these rounds are boxer primed and brass cased, giving them reloading capabilities. With these reloadable, 124 grain, Hornady Custom, 9mm rounds, you will have no trouble protecting your family.

The 9mm was developed in the German Empire in 1902 and has been become one of the most popular cartridges in the world. Used throughout both World Wars and among law enforcement agencies and civilians for over a century, this phenomenal round has proven itself reliable and effective. Whether you are looking to defend your family or want a round with a manageable recoil to shoot at the range, the 9mm is the way to go.

Hornady has been around since 1949 and has a reputation for providing premium projectiles and finished ammunition. All of Honrady's products are proudly made in the USA using premium components.

These Hornady Custom rounds feature 147 grain XTP jacketed hollow point projectiles. The XTP bullet design offers a great balance between penetration and reliable expansion. Each bullet is pressed into a boxer primed brass casing that is reloadable. If you rely on your 9mm handgun for personal protection, you don't want to use anything but the best. These Hornady Custom cartridges are a premium choice for self defense ammunition.

Many 9mm cartridges are designed to quickly neutralize a threat. Hornady Subsonic 9mm is no exception – it’s just specifically optimized to neutralize a threat indoors.

This cartridge has a softer report. Its chamber pressure meets SAAMI specs, but its heavyweight 147 grain bullet comes nowhere close to breaking the sound barrier. A cartridge which doesn’t sound a supersonic cracking report will enhance a suppressor’s functionality, though it’s still going to make a firearm operate more quietly even if it’s not sporting a suppressor.

This cartridge also has flash-suppressed propellant. Less muzzle flash means less of the light that can blind you in the dark, which in turn preserves your ability to direct rapid and accurate fire at the threat.

The XTP is a match accurate jacketed hollow point for self-defense. Its jacket is divided into symmetrical sections by strategically placed notches, and it gets thinner the closer it gets to the nose cavity. These two features ensure that the XTP widens out in uniform directions while still penetrating deeply.

This premium home defense ammo is also suitable for varmint hunting – especially if you’re doing the job with a suppressed carbine!

Nosler offers their Match Grade line of ammunition to pistol and carbine owners who love grouping shots tighter than a hungry dog’s lips on a soup bone. This 9mm ammo is also great if you believe accuracy matters for self-defense (and it certainly does).

This round’s bullet is heavy at 147 grains. It gets an accordingly slow muzzle velocity, but it retains comparably more momentum as it beelines downrange. The bullet’s uniform jacket walls and form-fitted lead core both contribute to its flat trajectory, as does its symmetrical meplat. The bullet’s tip also wears radiating notches that facilitate consistent terminal expansion.

No other component in this cartridge is overlooked, either. Nosler headstamps its high quality brass case because they’re proud of it, and gives it a match grade primer so it can serve up the same ballistics as all of its brothers. Every round in this box was assembled on dedicated machinery and even came from the same lot as one another!

Since right after World War Two, Hornady has been providing quality ammunition for all. Founded out of the need for accurate and reliable ammo, when virtually all that was available was low quality, military surplus ammunition, Hornady has continued to stay true to their mission and come to the forefront of the ammo world.

If you are looking for fantastic, self defense ammunition, Hornady Custom XTP is the round for you. XTP stands for "Extreme Terminal Performance," and this ammo does just that. These 124 grain, jacketed hollow point bullets are designed to have maximum, controlled, terminal expansion and steady trajectory. Not only is this brand exceptional, the 9mm is also a fantastic self defense round, recently declared by the FBI to be the best round of all. These phenomenal rounds are perfect for defending yourself.

Hornady Subsonic 9mm ammunition is designed to give any suppressed pistol the performance it needs to excel at home defense applications. But even if your pistol is unsuppressed, you’ll still find that this ammo has got a lot to offer!

Hornady’s XTP bullet is often favored by match shooters due to its excellent accuracy, which is largely the product of its uniformly distributed swaged lead core and concentric copper jacket. But as a jacketed hollow point, the XTP is also designed for terminal expansion. It mushrooms especially reliably thanks to its notched jacket, which splits apart evenly to give way to uniform expansion. The jacket is also tapered to help guide consistent expansion while simultaneously providing the weight retention needed for effectually deep penetration.

This round’s 147 grain bullet is heavy. It still builds up sufficient chamber pressure to cycle a semi-auto, but it also prevents ignition from sounding a supersonic cracking report. Flash-suppressed powder will produce less light, which is of especial benefit if you wish to conserve your eyesight in low-light conditions. The XTP’s fully jacketed rim and Hornady’s consistent brass cases, Boxer primers and propellant charges all do their parts to support reliable functionality in all makes and models of semi-autos.

Attention: Although this ammo typically features nickel-plated brass cases, supply chain issues have forced Hornady to temporarily load it with non-plated cases.

Hornady Critical Defense ammunition delivers strong penetration and expansion to stop attackers quickly and remove threats to life and limb. These cartridges come in a case of 250 and fire the Flex Tip jacketed hollow point bullet. The Flex Tip has a polymer nose inserted in the expansion cavity to provide more reliable feeding and better terminal ballistics.

Each round in this case fires a 115 grain version of the Flex Tip at a muzzle velocity of 1,135 feet per second. This is a standard pressure load that works well with compact concealed carry firearms.

Attention: Although this ammo typically features nickel-plated brass cases, supply chain issues have forced Hornady to temporarily load it with non-plated cases.

When you want your self-defense load to be as dependable as possible, your friends at Hornady are just the ones to turn to. This 9mm Critical Defense round is designed to feed, chamber and extract like clockwork, as well as deliver consistent recoil and ballistic performance with every trigger pull. The round’s sensitive primer reliably ignites its clean burning propellant, which is specially formulated to limit muzzle flash that would have impacted your night vision.

You can count on this round’s bullet to see you through a perilous encounter as well. It’s lightweight at only 115 grains, so recoil won’t throw your aim off too much. It’s also an FTX, which has a pliant polymer tip that will prevent the bullet’s hollow point nose cavity from choking on fabric before it can expand. The same tip also initiates violent expansion during penetration, so you’ll have the stopping power it takes to level threats fast. It’s peace of mind like only Hornady could provide, and you can depend on Wideners to ship fast and painlessly as well!

True to its name, this 9mm cartridge from Hornady’s Critical Defense Lite label sports a lightweight 100 grain projectile. This reduces recoil, a feature of great value to those who carry a compact firearm for personal protection and would like to lessen the recoil they’re going to incur.

This round’s FTX projectile is wholly up to the task of personal protection. It’s a hollow point bullet with soft, pink polymer inside of its nose cavity that prevents clogging during penetration and afterward facilitates reliable, intensely harmful expansion. The “Flex Tip” is pink because Hornady donates part of the proceeds they make from their Critical Defense Lite line of ammo to breast cancer research!

Danger could strike at any moment, but it’s worst when it strikes in the dark. That’s why this round’s propellant charge is formulated to generate very little light when ignited -- with reduced muzzle flash, your first shot in the dark won’t be the last you’re capable of aiming properly!

Hornady’s top shelf brass cases, noncorrosive Boxer primers and low-fouling propellant are all engineered with outstanding reliability in mind. The Nebraskan outfit’s quality assurance team is very exacting, so you can take heart that this case of ammo contains 250 of the best solutions for personal protection with a smaller pistol on the market!

Why take any chances on your everyday carry weapon’s ammunition when you can order Hornady Critical Duty 9mm +P ammo instead? This law enforcement grade ammo is loaded to extremely high standards for quality, performance and reliability.

This cartridge is outfitted with Hornady’s own FlexLock bullet. The 124 grain JHP features a Flex Tip, which is essentially a polymer plug that keeps the nose cavity unobstructed by debris in the event that the FlexLock has to penetrate a barrier before reaching its target. The FlexLock is even better equipped to defeat barriers thanks to its InterLock band, which keeps its jacket and high-antimony lead core from separating from one another. As the FlexLock retains all the weight it needs to penetrate its target deeply, its Flex Tip presses into its nose cavity to yield wide terminal expansion. The FlexLock even boasts great accuracy, especially as its cannelure prevents setback in the case.

Critical Duty cartridges feature nickel-plated brass cases to reduce friction as a semi-auto feeds and ejects. In addition to promoting smoother functionality, this ammo’s nickel-plated cases protect it against corrosion and make it more visible in the dark.

This is +P ammunition. Its higher chamber pressure gives it more recoil, a flatter trajectory and more energy on impact. Please ensure your firearm is rated for +P before firing this ammo in it.

If you ever have to defend your own life, you’ll have plenty to worry about without adding heavy recoil to the list. Hornady Critical Defense Lite series 9mm ammunition is engineered to produce extremely light recoil – optimal if your physique falls on the smaller end of the spectrum, or you prefer a subcompact handgun for personal protection.

This round doesn’t use strange tricks to produce significantly lighter felt recoil. You see, recoil energy is determined by four factors: firearm weight, bullet weight, propellant weight and muzzle velocity. This round’s 1,125 fps muzzle velocity out of a 4” barrel is normal for a 115 grain projectile. But because its bullet weighs only 100 grains, it simply can’t kick the shooter with very much recoil!

The bullet is Hornady’s own FTX. It is a jacketed hollow point, with a skived jacket that splits apart to ensure reliable terminal expansion. The FTX’s nose cavity contains a polymer cylinder that prevents fabric from obstructing it and compromising its ability to expand within soft tissue. (The polymer is bubblegum pink because Hornady donates a portion of their proceeds from this ammo to breast cancer research!)

Hornady loads this ammo in Nebraska with superb brass cases and Boxer primers, as well as low-flash propellant that won’t instantly blind you should you have to open fire in a dark setting.

Hornady Critical Duty ammunition is designed to stop an assailant consistently even when barriers like vehicle glass and sheet metal get in the way. Critical Duty rounds fire FlexLock bullets with a soft polymer insert that keeps material from clogging the hollow point and impairing the projectile's performance. The FlexLock also features the Interlock band to keep the core and jacket tightly bound together to prevent any risk of separation.

Each cartridge in this case of 250 (ideal for training) fires a heavy 135 grain version of the FlexLock at a muzzle velocity of 1,010 feet per second. This is a standard pressure load that will perform well in compact pistols without generating too much felt recoil.

Critical Duty ammunition is loaded in Grand Island, Nebraska using non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases which are nickel plated for additional durability over long periods of carry.

These rounds leave the barrel with a velocity of 1,120 feet per second and an energy of 345 foot pounds, but it’s the Hydra-Shok JHP bullet that makes them truly effective. This bullets design from Federal has a unique center post that delivers consistent expansion with reliable penetration. It will deliver efficient energy transfers and retain excellent stopping power at the target.

Federal Premium Ammunition is a leading manufacturer of hunting, target-shooting, and self-defense ammo. They are based out of Minnesota and have been serving American gun owners since 1922.

The Xtreme Defender bullet is specially designed for self-defense applications – although it does not expand inside soft tissue. Instead of a hollow point nose cavity the bullet features multiple flutes in its shank. These engage soft tissue and jet them outward to create a cavernous wound cavity.

The 90 grain bullet is made out of solid copper. It can’t deposit lead residue inside a semi-auto’s barrel, its nose profile promotes more reliable feeding, and it’s immune to becoming clogged up with debris that could have impacted a hollow point bullet’s terminal performance. So resilient a bullet penetrates soft tissue as deeply as 18” – which falls right within the FBI’s test protocol guidelines.

Underwood makes their Xtreme Defender round even more reliable by loading it with a nickel-plated brass case. This slick plating generates very little friction as the round feeds and extracts, which helps to prevent jamming. Nickel is furthermore corrosion resistant, and its sheen makes the round easier to see in the chamber under poor lighting.

9mm +P ammunition is loaded to a higher pressure than regular 9mm. That gives this round a flatter trajectory, as well as more energy to exert throughout impact and subsequent penetration. Modern 9mm handguns can safely absorb an overpressure round’s greater energy, but please check if your firearm is rated for +P before firing this ammo in it.

A bullet doesn’t need to expand in order to produce a much wider wound channel than its original diameter alone could account for. This 9mm ammunition by Underwood proves it!

This round features the 90 grain Xtreme Defender projectile. It is very light because it is lead-free, and its monolithic copper design at once makes it clean-shooting, balanced and extremely resilient. The Xtreme Defender punches through barriers easily, so it can reliably reach threats that are shielded by thick clothing, wallboard or even auto glass.

The Xtreme Defender lacks a nose cavity. Its nose profile makes it easier for a semi-automatic to feed without jamming, and it is also immune to becoming plugged up with debris. The monolithic bullet has multiple radial flutes machined around its tip. These force any fluid which the bullet comes into contact with to rapidly jet outward, creating a wide and instantaneous wound cavity that will quickly neutralize even the most determined threat. The Xtreme Defender consistently penetrates to depths as great as 18”, thus assuring a clean break to the vitals.

Underwood loads this 9mm ammo with nickel-plated brass cases for superior corrosion resistance and more reliable cycling through a semi-auto. They also load low-flash propellant that will preserve your night vision – very helpful in case you ever have to defend yourself in the dark.

Winchester PDX1 defensive ammunition is an effective choice for concealed carry and home protection and features bonded bullets that keep the jacket and core together as they impact an assailant. This results in consistent, high-energy terminal performance.

Each round in this case of 200 fires a heavy 147 grain jacketed hollow point projectile at 1,000 feet per second, delivering strong penetration compared to other 9mm Parabellum loads.

This ammo is made in Oxford, Mississippi using reloadable nickel-plated brass cases and non-corrosive primers.

This 9mm cartridge from Federal’s Personal Defense line of ammunition is brimming with features that make it an absolutely ideal solution for self-defense. Its 147 grain HST projectile has a cannelure to mechanically lock its jacket and core together, enabling it to retain nearly all of its weight as it bores through a soft target. The cutting petals it produces during penetration will completely incapacitate a threat, and it’s designed to penetrate to an efficacious depth without dangerously overpenetrating. Finally, the HST’s nose cavity resists clogging with fabric on impact so that it can expand reliably.

This cartridge feeds with certainty in a semi-automatic firearm thanks both to its specially designed nose profile and its brass casing’s smooth nickel plating. That plating further protects this round from corroding and becoming useless as the result. Federal’s sensitive primer ensures proper ignition with every pull of the trigger, and their propellant predictably ignites to produce a consistent 1,000 fps muzzle velocity.

Your everyday carry needs to have reliable, knock-down power if it’s going to do you any good when life attacks. That’s why Federal offers this round from their Personal Defense line of ammunition with a 147 grain HST projectile. The HST’s ability to deliver catastrophic terminal performance won’t be hindered by common barriers -- its special nose cavity is designed to prevent itself from becoming clogged up. This bullet expands to extend six sharp petals as it tunnels through its target, and it penetrates to the ideal depth for neutralizing a human-sized target while retaining nearly 100 percent of its weight.

This round’s factory fresh casing is made of brass, and thus perfect for handloading. The casing’s nickel plating poses multiple benefits to its performance: It promotes smooth feeding in a semi-automatic weapon, resists corrosion when confronted with moisture, and makes an on the fly chamber check easier to perform in the dark.

New firearm owners often ask us to recommend the best ammunition for self-defense. We typically suggest a few – but when we have Federal Premium’s Personal Defense HST in stock, it always tops our list. This is exactly the same 9mm +P ammunition Federal supplies to law enforcement agencies; only its packaging is different.

This 9mm +P cartridge’s 124 grain jacketed hollow point bullet is designed to feed smoothly and exhibit superior accuracy, but that’s only the start of what makes it great for personal defense. Its nose cavity is engineered to resist getting blocked up with debris on impact. Its jacket and core are highly resilient, and resist fragmenting apart following high-velocity impact. That ensures the bullet remains able to penetrate deeply enough to effectively neutralize a threat.

As the JHP encounters resistance from soft tissue, it quickly expands. When it plunges into ballistic gelatin, it increases from its original 0.355” diameter to 0.870”; if the bullet must penetrate multiple layers of fabric before entering the gelatin, it still expands to a diameter of 0.610”.

This ammo is loaded in Minnesota with Federal’s highest-quality primers and propellant, as well as corrosion resistant and smooth-cycling nickel-plated brass cases. This is overpressure ammunition. Its heightened chamber pressure will produce a flatter trajectory and inflict greater damage to the target, but it will also damage a firearm that is not rated for +P. Please consult your firearm’s manual or manufacturer before ordering, or ask your friendly expert at Widener’s!

With strong penetration and high diameter expansion, this 9mm Luger ammunition from Winchester is a formidable choice for self-defense. These cartridges fire bonded-core PDX1 bullets, which are designed to minimize the risk of core-jacket separation and the loss of terminal performance that this entails.

Each round in this box of 20 fires a heavy 147 grain PDX1 jacketed hollow point bullet at a subsonic muzzle velocity of 1,000 feet per second. The weight of the bullet improves penetration compared to other 9mm Parabellum loads.

This ammo is loaded in Oxford, Mississippi using non-corrosive Boxer primers and nickel-plated brass cases.

When you are looking for something great for self defense and range training, the 9mm is the perfect round for you.
