The Federal P9SHC1 Premium delivers maximum penetration through barriers with its innovative solid core synthetic flat nose design. This +P rated 9mm Luger cartridge maintains structural integrity when encountering intermediate barriers, making it a specialized choice for law enforcement and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional hollow point or full metal jacket rounds, this cartridge features a solid synthetic core that resists deformation upon impact with glass, sheet metal, and other common barriers. The flat nose profile creates consistent wound channels while the +P pressure rating generates higher velocities than standard pressure loads. Federal's Premium line undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure consistent performance across temperature extremes and storage conditions.
Key Features
- 147-grain solid core synthetic flat nose bullet for barrier penetration
- +P pressure rating delivers increased velocity and energy transfer
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
- Low-flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Consistent 1.29-inch overall cartridge length fits standard 9mm chambers
- Temperature-stable powder maintains performance from -40°F to 140°F
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications
Field testing demonstrates reliable feeding in service pistols including Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P, and SIG Sauer P320 platforms. The flat nose design transfers energy efficiently upon target contact while maintaining trajectory stability at extended ranges. Law enforcement agencies report consistent terminal performance through vehicle glass and light structural materials.
