The Federal Punch PD45P1 delivers consistent expansion and deep penetration for reliable personal defense performance. This 230-grain jacketed hollow point ammunition features Federal's proven design optimized for short-barrel pistols and everyday carry applications.
What Makes This Different
Federal Punch ammunition incorporates a skived nose design that initiates expansion at lower velocities compared to traditional hollow points. The heavy jacket construction maintains structural integrity through barriers while the engineered cavity promotes reliable expansion in tissue. This design philosophy addresses the specific challenges of personal defense scenarios where consistent performance matters most.
