Glaser Pow'RBall 9mm Luger +P 100gr JHP

Glaser Pow'RBall: Engineering Reliability and Performance

The Pow'RBall represents a thoughtful solution to real-world defensive ammunition challenges. This 9mm Luger +P load combines proven ballistic principles with practical engineering.

Design and Function

Each round features a gilding metal jacket surrounding a lead core shaped into a distinctive V-cavity. The defining characteristic is the polymer ball cap, crimped securely by the copper jacket. This design serves multiple purposes:

In Flight: The polymer ball improves aerodynamics by dispersing air around the bullet, enhancing ballistic performance and accuracy.

Feeding: The rounded profile promotes reliable feeding in semiautomatic pistols and revolvers—addressing a common problem with traditional hollow point designs.

On Impact: The polymer ball delays expansion, allowing initial penetration of several inches before being displaced. This exposes the V-shaped lead cavity, triggering controlled, reliable expansion.

Practical Advantages

The polymer cap also protects the hollow point cavity from being plugged by clothing or other material during penetration, ensuring the round expands as designed. This is particularly valuable for defensive applications where clothing interaction can compromise performance.
