The SinterFire SF9100NXGLF delivers lead-free frangible performance for training environments where safety and environmental concerns take priority. This 100-grain 9mm ammunition disintegrates upon impact with hard surfaces, eliminating ricochet hazards while maintaining consistent accuracy and reliable function.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, SinterFire's compressed copper-tin matrix construction fragments completely when striking steel targets or concrete backstops. The frangible design reduces training facility maintenance costs by eliminating lead contamination in indoor ranges. Ballistic performance matches standard 115-grain FMJ loads for realistic training scenarios without requiring sight adjustments.
Key Features
- 100% lead-free construction eliminates toxic exposure and environmental contamination
- Frangible design disintegrates on hard surfaces, preventing dangerous ricochets
- 100-grain compressed copper-tin bullet maintains consistent 1,150 fps muzzle velocity
- Boxer-primed brass cases support reloading for cost-effective practice
- Functions reliably in all 9mm pistols and carbines without modification
- Consistent powder charges deliver tight groupings at standard distances
- Clean-burning propellant reduces fouling and extends cleaning intervals
Range testing demonstrates reliable cycling in both striker-fired and hammer-fired platforms, with point-of-impact closely matching standard training loads. The frangible bullets perform effectively on steel targets from 7 yards to 25 yards, making them suitable for close-quarters training drills and competitive shooting sports. Indoor range operators report significantly reduced lead accumulation and easier backstop maintenance when switching to frangible ammunition.
