Federal Syntech Defense 9mm Luger Ammunition 138 Grain Segmented Hollow Point - S9SJT1

Federal Syntech Defense 9mm Luger Ammunition is engineered for superior performance in personal protection scenarios.

Federal Ammunition, known for its American manufacturing excellence, offers this high-quality product at competitive prices, making it accessible for civilian use while maintaining premium standards.

  • Performance Metrics: With a muzzle velocity of 1050 fps and muzzle energy of 338 ft. lbs, it provides effective stopping power for personal protection.
  • Bullet Design: Features Segmented Hollow Point technology for controlled expansion and penetration, enhancing terminal effectiveness.
  • Case Design: High-quality brass casing paired with centerfire primers for consistent ignition and reloading capability.
  • Versatility: Designed primarily for self-defense, its reliability also makes it suitable for law enforcement use.
  • Packaging Options: Typically sold in boxes, ideal for personal stocking or bulk purchasing for cost-efficiency.

Deep Dive

Overview

Federal Syntech Defense 9mm Luger Ammunition is meticulously crafted for personal protection. This ammunition is a standout in the market due to its segmented hollow point design, which is engineered to enhance stopping power without over-penetrating. This makes it suitable for use where maximum energy transfer is crucial, such as in close-quarters defense scenarios. The ammunition’s construction ensures that it provides reliable feeding and minimal recoil, which are essential for rapid follow-up shots in high-pressure situations.

History and Development

Federal Ammunition has a long-standing tradition of innovation in the ammunition industry. The development of the Syntech Defense line was driven by the need for enhanced terminal performance in defensive shooting. Federal’s advanced research facilities and expert ballisticians focused on creating a round that maximized stopping power while maintaining the safety of the user and bystanders by preventing over-penetration. The Syntech technology involves the use of a synthetic jacket that reduces barrel wear and eliminates metal-on-metal contact, extending the life of the firearm. As a brand that continually pushes the boundaries of ballistic performance, Federal has ensured that the Syntech Defense ammunition aligns with modern defensive shooting standards.

Common Questions and FAQs

  • How is this ammunition packaged, and are bulk options available?
    This ammunition is sold in standard boxes with bulk purchase options available through retailers, offering cost savings and free shipping on qualifying orders.
  • What is the main advantage of the segmented hollow point design?
    The segmented hollow point design allows the bullet to expand into three sections upon impact, increasing energy transfer while reducing the chance of over-penetration, making it highly effective for self-defense.
  • Is this ammunition suitable for use in all 9mm Luger handguns?
    Yes, it is compatible with all standard 9mm Luger firearms, providing consistent performance across a variety of handgun models.
  • Does the synthetic jacket offer any benefits compared to traditional metal jackets?
    The synthetic jacket minimizes barrel fouling, reduces muzzle rise, and decreases lead exposure, contributing to cleaner shooting conditions and extended barrel life.
  • Can this ammunition be reloaded after use?
    Yes, the brass casing is designed to be reloadable, offering added value for those who practice ammunition reloading.
  • Is this product compliant with lead regulations in California?
    No, this ammunition is not lead-free and does contain lead components, subject to California's Proposition 65 warnings.

The 'Round Up'

Perfect Fit for:

  • Self-Defense / Personal Protection

Why It Stands Out:

Federal Syntech Defense 9mm Luger Ammunition features innovative SHP technology for personal protection, ensuring impressive stopping power without risking over-penetration. With a muzzle velocity of 1050 fps and energy of 338 ft. lbs, it delivers reliable performance across compatible 9mm Luger firearms. This product, proudly made in the USA by Federal Ammunition, offers brass casing for reloadability and a synthetic jacket for reduced fouling. Whether for civilian or professional use, it remains a top choice for those prioritizing effective self-defense solutions.
