The Federal P357SHST1S Premium Personal Defense ammunition delivers proven terminal performance for 357 SIG firearms. This HST (Hollow Point Tactical) load combines Federal's advanced bullet design with consistent powder charges to provide reliable expansion and penetration in critical situations.
What Makes This Different
Federal HST ammunition features a specially engineered hollow point that expands reliably through barriers while maintaining weight retention. The jacketed hollow point design creates consistent expansion patterns across various velocities, unlike standard hollow points that may fail to open at lower speeds. Each cartridge undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure uniform ballistic performance.
Key Features
- 125-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for 357 SIG velocity
- HST bullet design provides consistent expansion through barriers
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and ensure smooth feeding
- Low-flash powder reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Federal primer systems deliver reliable ignition in all temperatures
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Compatible with all 357 SIG chambered firearms
This load generates approximately 1,350 feet per second muzzle velocity from a 4-inch barrel, providing flat trajectory and decisive terminal ballistics. Law enforcement agencies nationwide rely on HST ammunition for duty carry, while civilian shooters choose it for personal protection applications. The consistent performance across temperature ranges makes it suitable for year-round carry in various climates.
