Sig Sauer Elite Performance 40 S&W 180 Grain V-Crown JHP - Box of 50

Sig Sauer Elite Performance 40 S&W ammunition delivers a trusted balance of stopping power and reliability for defensive handgun use. Loaded with a 180-grain V-Crown hollow point bullet, this round is engineered to perform consistently across the wide range of firearms that shooters rely on—from service pistols to personal defense carry guns. Whether you're stocking your range bag for regular practice or keeping a duty load on hand, this 50-round box gives you a dependable platform to train with the same ammunition you trust in the moment it matters.

The V-Crown design starts with a stacked hollow point cavity that initiates rapid, controlled expansion on impact. A toothed cannelure halfway up the bullet shank works to retain weight during penetration, so the round performs consistently through barriers and intermediate media. The V-shaped jacket features skives and scores that guide expansion in a uniform, predictable pattern—critical for shot placement accountability and consistent wound dynamics. DUCTA-BRIGHT 7A coated brass cases reduce friction in the chamber and magazine, improving feeding reliability and extraction, while also resisting corrosion better than bare brass. The low-flash propellant helps preserve your night vision if you ever need to shoot in low light, and it's a practical detail for range sessions under covered fire or indoor shooting facilities.

Sig Sauer has built a reputation on ammunition that performs as advertised, and the Elite Performance line reflects that commitment. This is ammunition for shooters who take their handgun practice seriously and want a round that will behave the same way whether they're at the range or in a defensive scenario.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sig Sauer Elite Performance 40 S&W suitable for self-defense use?

Yes. The V-Crown hollow point design and controlled expansion characteristics are intended for defensive applications. Many shooters choose this line for duty or carry use, though as always, it's wise to test any round through your specific firearm before relying on it.

Will this ammunition work in my 40 S&W pistol?

This is standard 40 S&W ammunition, so it will chamber and fire in any firearm chambered for 40 S&W. The DUCTA-BRIGHT 7A coated brass cases are designed to feed and extract reliably across a wide range of pistol designs, from service weapons to compact carry guns.

What is the DUCTA-BRIGHT 7A coating?

DUCTA-BRIGHT 7A is a proprietary case coating that reduces friction in the chamber and magazine, promoting smooth feeding and extraction. It also offers superior corrosion resistance compared to uncoated brass, making the ammunition more reliable in varied storage and shooting conditions.

What does "low-flash propellant" mean?

Low-flash propellant produces less visible muzzle flash when the round fires. This is useful for preserving your night vision during low-light shooting, and it's also practical for indoor range sessions where muzzle flash can be distracting to other shooters.
