The Brenneke SL122THD THD Home Defense slugs deliver maximum stopping power with controlled penetration for residential protection scenarios. This 12-gauge ammunition combines a 1-ounce lead slug with Brenneke's proven wad design to create reliable expansion while limiting over-penetration risks.
What Makes This Different
The THD (Tactical Home Defense) design features a specially engineered lead slug that expands upon impact while the attached wad acts as a brake to reduce penetration depth. Unlike standard foster slugs that can over-penetrate through multiple walls, the THD system balances stopping power with reduced risk to family members in adjacent rooms. The 2.75-inch shell length ensures compatibility with all 12-gauge shotguns while delivering consistent 1,475 fps muzzle velocity.
Key Features
- 1-ounce lead slug with controlled expansion design
- Attached wad system reduces over-penetration risk
- 2.75-inch shell fits all 12-gauge shotguns
- 1,475 fps muzzle velocity for reliable terminal performance
- Low-flash powder reduces night vision disruption
- Consistent accuracy within 50 yards for home defense distances
- German-engineered quality with rigorous testing standards
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at typical home defense ranges of 7-25 yards. The slug maintains accuracy sufficient for center mass hits while the wad system helps prevent dangerous over-penetration through standard residential construction materials. Law enforcement agencies have adopted similar Brenneke designs for urban environments where collateral damage concerns are paramount.
