Sellier & Bellot XRG Defense .40 S&W 130gr HP

Sellier & Bellot XRG Defense Ammunition

The XRG Defense line represents a modern approach to personal defense ammunition, built on proven European law enforcement standards. This .40 S&W loading pairs a 130-grain solid copper hollow-point bullet with a velocity of 1247 feet per second—a light-for-caliber design that maximizes performance from compact handguns.

Barrier-Blind Performance

The solid copper hollow-point construction delivers what Sellier & Bellot calls "Barrier Blind" performance. This means the bullet maintains near 100% weight retention whether it encounters glass, drywall, metal, fabric, or other common barriers. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that may fragment or lose mass, the all-copper design ensures consistent penetration across varied real-world scenarios.

Reliable Expansion

Upon impact, the hollow-point expands into five sharp-edged cutting petals, creating a larger wound channel than standard ammunition. The light bullet weight allows for deeper penetration than heavier alternatives while maintaining the expansion characteristics necessary for effective stopping power.

Practical Advantages

• Low Perceived Recoil: The 130-grain bullet weight reduces felt recoil, enabling faster, more accurate follow-up shots
• High Velocity: Consistent 1247 fps performance supports reliable expansion across all engagement distances
• Proven Design: Trusted by European law enforcement agencies for real-world defensive applications
• Compact Handgun Optimized: Engineered specifically for modern compact and subcompact pistols

Each box contains 25 rounds of factory-fresh ammunition, ready for training or defensive carry.
