9mm - +P 124 Grain HST JHP - Federal Personal Defense - 20 Rounds

What does “HST” stand for? Nothing, technically – its just the three letters Federal chose to represent their fine line of self-defense ammunition! This 9mm +P cartridge is loaded with a super effective 124 grain jacketed hollow point. A deep cannelure crimps its core and jacket tightly together, so they remain mechanically bonded even as the HST bullet penetrates tough barriers like heavy clothing and plywood. Once its nose cavity connects with soft tissue, however, the HST begins to flatten out massively. This is why it performs so well on the FBI’s test protocol, inflicting accented damage to a threat while simultaneously significantly reducing its chance of passing right through it. A self-defense load’s terminal performance can’t be the only reliable thing about it. That’s why Federal gives their HST the optimal profile with which to feed into a semi-auto’s chamber, as well as a nose cavity which resists blocking up with debris that could have hampered expansion. This round’s low friction nickel plated brass case promotes rapid feeding and extraction without jamming, and it resists gradual corrosion as well! This is an overpressure round, hence the “+P.” All that means is it’s loaded to create a higher chamber pressure, thus increasing its muzzle velocity to 1,200 fps out of a 4” barrel. Most modern handguns including those made by Glock, Taurus, and SIG Sauer can handle overpressure ammo just fine, but it will wear out a semi-auto’s moving parts a little faster. That’s not an issue for self-defense, but not ideal for training either!

45 ACP - 230 Grain FNEB - Remington Subsonic - 50 Rounds

Do you have a 45 ACP handgun? Do you also have a suppressor? Then all you need now is the ammo. Remington and Advanced Armament Corporation codeveloped this ammo so you can maximize your suppressed handgun’s performance. The 45 ACP is already a subsonic cartridge, and Remington’s Subsonic label ammo certainly doesn’t reinvent the wheel in that department. What this cartridge offers that’s special is its bullet: a flat nose enclosed base. No part of the bullet’s core is exposed to hot propellant gasses during ignition, so you can look forward to not having to scrub any lead residue off of your suppressor’s ports or baffles. This bullet’s flat nose profile won’t deliver terminal expansion. But if your objective is to avoid deafening yourself while you use your handgun during home defense, you’ll still find 230 grains of lead and copper suitable for the job. This bullet transfers more than 320 ft lbs of energy over any distance your home could possibly contain. Even if it hasn’t got a suppressor, your handgun should have zero difficulty cycling this brass-cased, non-corrosive and clean-burning American-made ammunition.
