The supplier lists a muzzle velocity of 1120 feet per second. Each box holds 20 rounds, and the cartridge is described as a standard 9mm configuration for compatible firearms.

This load suits a shooter who wants a defensive 9mm for personal protection, and it can also serve for function testing and carry readiness. The supplier notes that the box suits defensive ammunition storage. The jacketed hollow point and nickel-plated case are the points to compare if you are weighing it against other defensive loads. The bullet is described as a jacketed hollow point, which is the design the listing highlights for personal protection.
