The Federal P9HSD1 Premium Personal Defense ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance through advanced Hydra-Shok Deep hollow point technology. This 9mm Luger load features a 135-grain projectile engineered for optimal expansion and penetration in defensive scenarios.
What Makes This Different
Hydra-Shok Deep technology represents Federal's evolution beyond traditional hollow point designs. The enhanced post and deep-driving hollow point cavity work together to achieve 15+ inches of penetration while maintaining reliable expansion through heavy clothing and intermediate barriers. Independent ballistic testing shows consistent performance across various mediums compared to standard jacketed hollow points that may fail to expand or over-penetrate.
