The 9mm has been on the market since 1904 and in the last century-plus it’s seen a lot of use including in the military and law enforcement. Today it’s the most popular self-defense caliber out there when it comes to semi-auto handguns. The 9mm delivers nice, solid power with a manageable recoil, is affordable, and also has the added benefit of higher-capacity magazines. If you use your 9mm for personal protection, you should keep it loaded and ready with good quality defense rounds, and that’s where Hornady comes in.
These Hornady rounds are for your 9mm and are a medium-weight 135 grain. This weight will leave the barrel of your gun at impressive speeds and delivers a solid hit on impact. These are Hornady’s Critical Duty rounds and feature Flex Tip and InterLock technology. The Flex Tip is a polymer insert in the nose of the round that aids in expansion while also preventing clogs, which many HPs are prone to. The InterLock means the core and jacket of the round are electrochemically bonded together for superior weight retention and greater stopping power. Each round has a muzzle velocity of 1110 feet per second and muzzle energy of 369 foot-pounds. This ammunition is meant specifically for self-defense.
When you order this single box of ammunition from Hornady you get 25 defense rounds which is just enough to load your 9mm for self-defense use with some left over for a spare mag. Hornady was founded in 1944 by Joyce Hornady. Joyce Hornady was a marksmanship instructor during World War II, and after the war he noticed the surplus ammunition flooding the market didn’t perform nearly well enough for sport shooters or hunters. His solution was to make his own, and so he did and the rest is ammunition history. Hornady manufactures ammunition at their established plant in Grand Island, Nebraska. Defend yourself and your family with the best; buy Hornady, and do it today.

Deep stuff
on 4/15/2014I have found the Hornady 135 gr. +p 9mm ammo to be reliable for feeding...In penetration tests I have found it to not only penetrate deeper than most other hollow point ammo but consistently expanded past .50 calibre...This enhanced penetration allows me to use a 3" Kahr PM9 without fear of under penetrating...

- When I purchase bullets for a glock 19 Gen 3 what bullets do I order Posted On: 8/10/2022 By: Tony
- Thanks for reaching out Tony! Glock says the G19 is chambered for 9x19mm, which is just the European name for 9mm (aka 9mm Luger). They're all the same cartridge. Your G19 can fire anything so long as it's 9mm. Now, when you see ammo called "9mm +P," that just means it's loaded to produce more chamber pressure and a resultant higher muzzle velocity. That's going to do more damage to the target. It's also going to accelerate wear and tear on your G19's moving parts and barrel. This isn't a problem as far as self-defense is concerned, but you wouldn't want to needlessly wear out your handgun by using 9mm for target practice.
To recap, your G19 can fire both 9mm and 9mm +P ammo. Without getting too in-depth, you want two types of ammo: full metal jacket (FMJ) ammo for target practice, and jacketed hollow point (JHP) ammo for self-defense. The FMJ is the cheaper type of bullet, but the JHP is designed to deliver the terminal expansion which more effectively neutralizes a human-size threat.
I'm going to make it easy for you and recommend two types of ammo by Federal of Minnesota: training ammo, and self-defense ammo. Both share identical muzzle velocities and bullet weights, so the recoil and ballistics you get training with the FMJ ammo will very closely match the performance you can expect should you ever need to defend yourself.
