Federal Syntech Defense 9mm ammunition features a segmented hollow-point bullet that separates on impact for dynamic terminal performance. 138 grain, 1050 fps, 20 rounds per box.
Federal's Syntech Defense ammunition represents a significant advancement in self-defense ammunition design, combining proven terminal performance with the cleanliness benefits of polymer-coated bullets.
The Syntech Defense bullet is engineered to separate into three segments upon impact, with a deep-penetrating core that achieves 12 to 18 inches of penetration through bare ballistics gel and heavy clothing—a critical benchmark in self-defense situations. The three petals create secondary wound channels, each exceeding 6 inches in depth, adding substantial terminal effect. This design delivers the best terminal performance in its class.
Like all Syntech ammunition, Federal's advanced polymer jacket eliminates the traditional copper and lead fouling that accumulates in your barrel. This means:
Federal's Catalyst lead-free primer provides hot, extremely reliable ignition without compromise. You get consistent performance shot after shot.
Syntech Defense is the choice for shooters who demand both superior terminal performance and a cleaner shooting experience.
