Federal Syntech Defense 9mm Ammo – 138 Grain Segmented Hollow Point Personal Defense Rounds (50 Round Box)

Federal Syntech Defense 9mm 138 grain ammunition is engineered to deliver advanced terminal performance for personal protection. Built around Federal’s innovative segmented hollow-point design, this load is purpose-driven for defensive use in compact, full-size, and duty 9mm pistols.

Upon impact, the hollow-point projectile separates into three distinct segments while a deep-penetrating core continues forward. The core is designed to achieve 12 to 18 inches of penetration through bare ballistic gel and heavy clothing—meeting critical self-defense benchmarks. The three separated petals create additional wound channels, each penetrating more than 6 inches, enhancing overall terminal effect and energy distribution.

Like all Syntech loads, this round features an advanced polymer jacket that eliminates copper and lead fouling while significantly reducing barrel heat and friction. Federal’s exclusive Catalyst primer provides hot, extremely reliable ignition without the use of lead. For shooters seeking cutting-edge defensive ammunition in 9mm, Syntech Defense offers a modern solution built for performance and reliability.
