Federal Syntech Defense 9mm 138gr SJHP Ammo - 20 Rounds S9SJT1

The Federal Syntech Defense S9SJT1 delivers reliable terminal performance through its innovative segmented hollow point design combined with Federal's polymer-coated Syntech technology. This 138-grain 9mm Luger ammunition eliminates metal-on-metal contact while maintaining the expansion characteristics needed for personal defense applications.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional jacketed hollow points, the Syntech Defense features a Total Synthetic Jacket (TSJ) that reduces barrel fouling by up to 60% compared to conventional copper-jacketed bullets. The segmented hollow point design creates controlled expansion with consistent penetration depths. Federal's polymer coating technology runs cleaner and cooler than standard ammunition while reducing wear on firearm components.

Key Features

• 138-grain segmented jacketed hollow point for reliable expansion
• Total Synthetic Jacket (TSJ) reduces barrel fouling and wear
• Polymer coating eliminates copper and lead fouling
• Consistent muzzle velocity of approximately 1,050 fps
• Reduced recoil compared to standard 124-grain loads
• Crimped primer and case mouth for reliable feeding
• Brass cases suitable for reloading applications

Range testing demonstrates consistent groupings at 25 yards with reliable cycling in both full-size and compact 9mm pistols. The reduced fouling characteristics make this ammunition particularly suitable for high-volume training sessions and competitive shooting where barrel maintenance intervals matter. Indoor ranges appreciate the cleaner-burning propellant that reduces airborne particulates.
