Federal Premium Syntech Defense 9mm ammunition uses a 138-grain Segmented Jacketed Hollow Point bullet engineered for reliable defensive performance. On impact, the hollow-point projectile separates into three segments while retaining a deep-penetrating core. The core is designed to penetrate 12 to 18 inches through bare ballistic gel and heavy clothing, while the three petals create additional wound channels. An advanced polymer jacket helps reduce lead and copper fouling, heat, and friction in the barrel. Each brass-cased cartridge uses Federal’s lead-free Catalyst primer for dependable ignition.
