The Underwood Ammo 231 delivers exceptional stopping power with its 135-grain jacketed hollow point design, engineered for maximum expansion and energy transfer in 10mm applications. This premium defensive ammunition combines consistent accuracy with reliable terminal performance across various barrel lengths.
What Makes This Different
Underwood's proprietary powder blend generates higher velocities than standard 10mm loads, pushing the 135-grain JHP to approximately 1,400 fps from a 5-inch barrel. The nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and provide smooth feeding in semi-automatic pistols. Each cartridge undergoes strict quality control testing to ensure consistent chamber pressures and bullet seating depth.
Key Features
- 135-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for controlled expansion
- Nickel-plated brass cases for enhanced corrosion resistance and extraction
- Flash-suppressed powder reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Compatible with all 10mm Auto firearms including Glock, 1911, and XD platforms
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications
- Consistent velocities within 25 fps standard deviation
- 20-round packaging with individual foam inserts for protection
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities between 900-1,400 fps, making this load effective across various barrel lengths from compact carry pistols to full-size duty weapons. The hollow point cavity design maintains structural integrity through intermediate barriers while providing rapid expansion in soft tissue. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this specification for its consistent performance in both urban and rural environments.
