9mm Hollow Point Ammo For Sale

Hollow points are why 9mm became America's default carry cartridge. Gel testing after the FBI's 1986 Miami shootout, and decades of jacket and cavity engineering since, closed most of the terminal-performance gap between 9mm and bigger calibers. The FBI's own return to 9mm in 2014 rested on modern hollow point performance.

This is our largest hollow point selection, built around the three standard 9mm weights: 115 grain for velocity and light recoil, 124 grain as the balanced duty weight, and 147 grain for subsonic penetration and suppressor use. Roughly a quarter of it is +P or +P+, for shooters who want more velocity out of compact barrels.

How the major 9mm hollow points differ

• Bonded and engineered duty loads: Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, and Hornady Critical Duty hold their weight through heavy clothing and barriers. These are the loads police agencies actually issue.
• Polymer-filled cavities: Hornady Critical Defense and FTX plug the hollow point so denim can't clog it.
• Value JHP: Federal, Fiocchi, PMC, Winchester, and Sellier & Bellot load conventional JHPs at prices that make it practical to buy enough to verify function.

Before you carry, run at least a box of your chosen load through your pistol.
