Federal Premium Personal Defense 9mm Luger +P ammunition with 124 grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point bullets. This is duty-proven defensive ammunition designed for reliable terminal performance. Since we started stocking it in Q1 2025, it has become one of our steady sellers in the defensive ammunition category. The +P designation indicates higher pressure for increased velocity, making it suitable for those who prioritize consistent expansion and penetration in a defensive load.
Stand-Out Features
- Proven HST Design: The jacketed hollow point is engineered for controlled expansion and reliable penetration, even through barriers.
- Consistent +P Performance: Higher pressure loading delivers increased muzzle velocity for terminal performance that meets FBI protocol standards.
- Reliable Feeding: In our staff testing, this ammunition fed reliably in firearms chambered for both brass and steel case ammunition.
- Nickel-Plated Brass Cases: Provides corrosion resistance and smoother extraction, especially important for defensive ammunition that may be chambered for extended periods.

Your Questions Answered
Is this +P ammunition safe for my 9mm pistol?
This ammunition is safe for firearms rated for +P or +P+ 9mm Luger pressures. Consult your firearm’s manual or manufacturer to confirm your specific model is rated for +P use. Firing +P ammunition in a firearm not designed for it can cause excessive wear or damage.
How does the HST perform compared to other hollow points?
The Federal HST is known for its consistent expansion and penetration depth, often meeting or exceeding FBI testing standards. The design focuses on reliable performance through various barriers while minimizing over-penetration risk.
Why is the case nickel-plated?
Nickel plating increases corrosion resistance, which is beneficial for defensive ammunition that may be carried in a magazine or chamber for long periods. It also typically provides smoother extraction from the chamber.
