Norma Safeguard 40 S&W 180gr JHP Defense Ammo - 50 Rounds

The Norma Safeguard 40 S&W 180-grain jacketed hollow point delivers reliable expansion and penetration for personal defense applications. This premium ammunition combines Swedish engineering precision with proven terminal ballistics to provide consistent performance when it matters most.

What Makes This Different

Norma's Safeguard line utilizes advanced hollow point geometry engineered for controlled expansion across various barrier materials. The 180-grain projectile maintains optimal sectional density for the .40 S&W cartridge, delivering deeper penetration than lighter bullets while maintaining manageable recoil. Each cartridge undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure consistent velocities and reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols.

Key Features

• 180-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for defense applications
• Consistent muzzle velocity of approximately 1000 fps from 4-inch barrels
• Premium brass cases with boxer primers for reliable ignition
• Advanced hollow point design for controlled expansion and weight retention
• Low-flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
• Compatible with all standard .40 S&W chambered firearms
• Packaged in 50-round boxes with 20 boxes per case (1000 total rounds)

This ammunition performs consistently across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F, maintaining reliable function in duty and concealed carry applications. The jacketed hollow point design penetrates heavy clothing and intermediate barriers while expanding reliably in ballistic gelatin testing. Law enforcement agencies and civilian defenders rely on this load for its predictable terminal performance and feeding reliability in popular .40 S&W platforms including Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P, and SIG Sauer pistols.
