Federal Syntech Defense 9mm 138gr SJHP

Federal Syntech Defense 9mm Ammunition

Federal's Syntech Defense represents a significant advancement in self-defense ammunition technology. This round combines proven terminal performance with the clean-shooting characteristics that have made Syntech a favorite among serious shooters.

Terminal Performance

The 138-grain segmented jacketed hollow-point bullet is engineered to separate into three distinct segments upon impact, each creating its own wound channel. The deep-penetrating core 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 exceeding 6 inches in depth, multiplying the round's effectiveness.

Clean Shooting Design

Like all Syntech ammunition, Federal's advanced polymer jacket eliminates lead and copper fouling while drastically reducing damaging heat and friction in the barrel. This means less cleaning and maintenance between shooting sessions, and extended barrel life.

Reliable Ignition

Federal's Catalyst primer provides hot, extremely reliable ignition without the use of lead. This lead-free design makes Syntech Defense an excellent choice for indoor ranges and shooters concerned about environmental impact.
