1000 Rounds of 158gr FMJ 9mm Ammo by Fiocchi

We all know the most famous three words from the 007 movies, but due to copyright laws, it seems best to refrain from including them in this sentence. Since our suave spy first appeared in novel form in 1953, there have been 23 film adaptions and, of course, an endless stream of television, radio, comic, and video game versions. And what would fiction’s greatest spy be without his suppressed gun? In order to get the most out of your suppressor, you should be using subsonic ammunition. And if you don’t have a suppressor, you should get one! Or you can just fire these rounds without one and enjoy the relative sounds – or lack thereof – of silence.

Subsonic ammunition is heavier than the usual, and these rounds are just that at an impressively weighty 158 grain. Greater weight allows them to retain energy despite the slower speeds they move at in order to move below the speed of sound. These rounds have a muzzle velocity of 850 feet per second and muzzle energy of 253 foot-pounds. They’re Full Metal Jacket rounds, which are ideal for target practice, shooting drills, and extra-quiet plinking. Fiocchi manufactures them in fresh brass cases with boxer primer, and that means you can burn through the entire box, collect your spent brass, reload, and do it all again.

Fiocchi was founded in 1876 in Lecco, Italy and is known for dedication to quality, which they guard carefully in part by designing and making all their own production equipment. They have a stellar reputation in the firearms community and have a variety of certifications including ISO 14001, NATO AQAP-110 and UN EN ISO 9001. Although their headquarters and original plant are located in Italy, they also have a plant in Ozark, Missouri, where the production of ammunition for distribution in the U.S. takes place. You get 1,000 subsonic rounds in this case, and that’s enough for significant time training at extra-quiet levels. If the aforementioned spy is your hero – or even if he isn’t – give these subsonic rounds a try.
