The Grizzly Ammo GC4SW4 delivers consistent terminal performance with its 180-grain jacketed hollow point design optimized for the 40 S&W cartridge. This premium defensive ammunition combines controlled expansion with deep penetration characteristics that meet law enforcement standards.
What Makes This Different
Grizzly's proprietary hollow point cavity design creates reliable expansion across varying barrier materials while maintaining weight retention above 95%. The precision-manufactured brass cases utilize flash-hole deburring and consistent wall thickness to ensure uniform ignition and velocity. Unlike standard ball ammunition, these JHP rounds deliver approximately 2.5 times the wound channel diameter upon impact.
Key Features
- 180-grain jacketed hollow point bullet for maximum stopping power
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
- Low-flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Consistent 1000 fps muzzle velocity from 4-inch barrel
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Compatible with all 40 S&W chambered firearms
Field testing demonstrates consistent 0.75-inch expansion diameter through standard clothing barriers while retaining 98% bullet weight. The load performs reliably in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F, making it suitable for year-round carry applications. Law enforcement agencies report consistent cycling in duty pistols including Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P, and SIG Sauer platforms.
