Buffalo Bore 24A20 Personal Defense ammunition delivers maximum stopping power through precision-engineered +P+ pressure loads that exceed standard 9mm performance by significant margins. This strictly business defensive round combines 115-grain jacketed hollow point projectiles with carefully formulated powder charges to achieve superior terminal ballistics when split-second effectiveness matters most.
What Makes This Different
The +P+ designation indicates chamber pressures substantially higher than SAAMI specifications, generating velocities that standard 9mm ammunition cannot match. Buffalo Bore's heavy-for-caliber approach maximizes momentum transfer while maintaining controlled expansion through engineered jacket thickness. Independent ballistic testing shows consistent velocities exceeding 1,300 fps from 4-inch barrels, delivering energy levels typically associated with larger calibers.
Key Features
- +P+ pressure loading generates maximum velocity and energy transfer
- 115-grain jacketed hollow point bullets engineered for controlled expansion
- Flash-suppressed powder reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and enhance feeding reliability
- Compatible with all 9mm Luger chambered firearms rated for +P+ pressures
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications
- 20-round boxes packed in 12-box cases for bulk purchasing
Real-world performance testing demonstrates consistent accuracy within 2-inch groups at 25 yards from quality pistols, with reliable feeding across multiple platform types including striker-fired and traditional double-action designs. Law enforcement agencies specify similar loadings for duty applications where immediate threat neutralization takes priority over ammunition cost considerations. The enhanced pressure levels require firearms specifically rated for +P+ ammunition to ensure safe operation and component longevity.
