9mm - +P+ 90 Grain Xtreme Defender - Underwood - 20 Rounds

This 9mm +P+ cartridge by Underwood features the Xtreme Defender projectile by Lehigh Defense. It’s a rather unique self-defense projectile, as it does not expand as it penetrates its target. The 90 grain solid copper bullet is instead shaped like a drill bit, and its radial flutes cause cavitation which may be up to double the diameter that a hollow point could have yielded. What’s more, the Xtreme Defender’s profile permits it to much more easily break through tenacious urban barriers, penetrate to a depth of up to 16 inches, and furthermore promotes more certain feeding in a semi-automatic firearm. An Underwood cartridge is designed to truly deliver under any circumstances. That’s why every one of their rounds is loaded with flash suppressed propellant, so that your ability to line up accurate follow-up shots won’t be impacted should you have to stand your ground in the dark. This round also features a nickel plated brass casing for enhanced resistance to corrosion as well as smoother feeding and extraction. It has been plated via the Ducta-Bright 7a process, which fares better when exposed to the greater heat that a +P+ load can create. Please do note that this is +P+ ammo and ought to have nothing to do with any weapon that isn’t rated for it. Also, note that in an effort to increase production efficiency, the round may not have a "+P" headstamp traditionally found on pressure rounds.

45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds

Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
