The Lehigh Defense LA9115XP Xtreme Penetrator delivers maximum terminal performance through its innovative solid copper construction and fluid transfer monolithic design. This 115-grain 9mm Luger ammunition creates devastating wound channels without relying on expansion, making it effective through barriers and heavy clothing where traditional hollow points fail.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional hollow point ammunition that depends on expansion for terminal effectiveness, the Xtreme Penetrator uses a unique fluted nose design that creates hydraulic energy transfer upon impact. The solid copper construction maintains structural integrity through intermediate barriers including auto glass, drywall, and heavy clothing. This consistent performance eliminates the reliability concerns associated with clogged hollow points while delivering superior penetration depth.
Key Features
- Solid copper construction prevents fragmentation and ensures consistent penetration
- Fluted nose design creates permanent wound cavity through fluid transfer technology
- 115-grain projectile delivers optimal velocity and energy in standard 9mm platforms
- Barrier-blind performance maintains effectiveness through glass, clothing, and drywall
- Lead-free construction eliminates toxic exposure concerns during training
- Precision manufacturing ensures consistent accuracy and reliable feeding
- Compatible with all standard 9mm Luger firearms and magazines
Range testing demonstrates consistent 12-18 inch penetration in ballistic gelatin with permanent wound cavities measuring 3-4 inches in diameter. The monolithic design eliminates weight retention concerns while the fluted nose channels create tissue disruption comparable to expanded hollow points. Law enforcement agencies report reliable function in duty pistols including Glock, Sig Sauer, and Smith & Wesson platforms across temperature extremes.
