This 40 S&W cartridge by Inceptor features its manufacturer’s 88 grain ARX projectile. It’s a lightweight bullet due to its unique copper-polymer composition, and it therefore conveys far less recoil which facilitates accurate follow-up shots in a life or death situation. The lightweight ARX is additionally able keep a flatter trajectory downrange, and also prevent rapid lead fouling within the bore altogether.

The ARX has no hollow point nose cavity, and therefore feeds with the same reliability that a round nose projectile would and works well in essentially any type of weapon. It achieves its remarkable stopping power in an all new and revolutionary fashion. The ARX’s three specially designed grooves start out wide at the tip to channel soft tissues downward. As the grooves narrow toward the base, they eject those tissues laterally at up to double the directional speed of the bullet, creating truly debilitating cavitation that will neutralize a threat quickly. The ARX boasts highly consistent terminal performance, and is unlikely to overpenetrate.

Q: why are these self defense shells so scarce, and most places discontinued, it's a really good round with little recoil and good for arthritis hands????

Posted On: 12/2/2021 By: Bobbie

A: Thanks for reaching out Bobbie! I'm afraid the polymer matrix self-defense bullet just hasn't become very popular owing to its novelty and lack of real world results. Shooters know and trust the JHP, and few are willing to stake their personal safety on a bullet that cops and military officers haven't embraced. From what I've seen the ARX works great, so it's unfortunate that the market didn't embrace it enough to give it a wider reach. Perhaps that will change in time, but for now low demand appears to keep this ammo rather scarce. We'll certainly stock it again as soon as we have the opportunity, and we update our inventroy frequently. I hope you'll check back in again soon!

Q: I would like to know more about this type of round. What makes it any different from a FMJ an what makes it a good round to use for self defense?

Posted On: 8/12/2019 By: Christopher

A: Hi Christopher. The ARX round features a unique bullet design and composition. The 88 grain bullet is a copper/polymer composite allowing for a much lighter than typical projectile to reach higher velocities than your standard 165-180 grain projectiles in a .40 SW. The composition allows the bullet to reach adequate penetration depths and reduces the possibility of over-penetration. This is a concern when firing a self-defense round "off range". As to the actual street use of the round, we cannot speak to the effectiveness of the round compared to the common hollow point or soft point ammo since there is only laboratory testing data available.

Q: I would like to know more about this ammo. An what makes its any different from any other FMJ

Posted On: 8/11/2019 By: Christopher

A: Hi Christopher. The ARX rounds are loaded with a copper/polymer constructed bullet. This allow for a much higher velocity round that one would typically see in the .40 cal ammo. The manufacturer claims that the unique shape projectile will increase the terminal ballistic damage of the round.
