Terminal Performance & Self-Defense
The 124gr +P JHP hits the terminal ballistics sweet spot for 9mm: fast enough to expand reliably (1,200 fps), heavy enough to penetrate adequately (12–15 inches), and light enough for quick follow-up shots. This round expands consistently through FBI-standard barriers including heavy clothing, drywall, plywood, sheet metal, and automotive glass. The +P pressure generates 396 ft-lbs of energy — significantly more than standard-pressure 115gr loads — while remaining controllable in compact carry guns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is +P safe in my 9mm pistol?
Most modern 9mm firearms are rated for +P ammunition. Check your owner’s manual. Not recommended for older or subcompact designs not rated for +P pressures.
Why 124gr instead of 115gr or 147gr?
124gr +P is the Goldilocks weight: faster than 147gr for better expansion, heavier than 115gr for better penetration. Most law enforcement agencies use 124gr or 147gr — 124gr +P combines the best of both.
