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 - 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.
