Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition 9mm Luger +P 124 Grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point 20RD

The Federal Premium Personal Defense 9mm Luger +P 124 Grain HST JHP is a duty-grade self-defense round trusted by law enforcement agencies worldwide. If you carry a 9mm for protection, you need ammunition that performs consistently when it matters most—and HST (Hydra-Shok Technology) has proven itself in the field and in rigorous FBI testing protocols. This 20-round box gives you ammunition engineered for reliable expansion and controlled penetration through real-world barriers, not just ballistic gelatin.

The HST's hollow point design is built to expand reliably even after passing through clothing, steel, or other common obstacles you might encounter in a defensive encounter. The bullet's jacket and core stay bonded together through the toughest materials, retaining nearly 100 percent of its weight. That engineering discipline means you get the expansion you need for stopping power without the overpenetration that risks bystanders or unintended targets. The nickel-plated brass case and Federal's primer technology ensure reliable feeding and ignition in semi-automatic handguns, shot after shot.

Federal engineered this load to perform at 1200 feet per second from a 4-inch barrel—realistic service-pistol velocities, not hype. Whether you're training with duty ammunition or stocking your carry gun, HST's track record in law enforcement speaks for itself. This is ammunition for people who understand that personal defense is serious business.
