The traditional jacketed hollow point bullet is indisputably good at its job, but it has an inherent design flaw. Because it is necessarily made of two components – a core and a jacket – it is capable of fragmenting apart as it penetrates a barrier or its target. This reduces its weight and therefore its momentum, depriving it of the ability to penetrate deeply.

This 9mm self-defense cartridge by Norma fixes all of that with its monolithic hollow point bullet. The MHP is made of 100 percent cold forged copper, and has no components that could break apart. Copper on its own is tough as all get out, so the MHP consistently retains over 99 percent of its weight by the time it comes to a stop.

The MHP doesn’t simply sink deeply into its target, of course. It also expands to exert its energy outwards while simultaneously creating a wider and wider wound channel. Devastating stuff. This particular bullet is lighter than the usual 9mm round’s, but it makes up for that with its fast muzzle velocity – a turbo 1,312 fps! That gives it plenty of energy to transfer on the terminal side of its performance, making it a definitive solution for personal protection.

Norma is a subsidiary of RUAG, one of Europe’s largest ammo manufacturers. This Hungarian-made round accordingly offers a new production brass case for clean ignition and efficient extraction out of a semi-auto, as well as modern explosive components that won’t leave your pistol a residue-laden mess. A copper bullet also benefits performance by eliminating the lead fouling that gradually harms accuracy!

Q: Do you like this for the G43

Posted On: 5/18/2021 By: Frank McLaughlin

A: Yes sir, this ammo should function flawlessly in a Glock 43!

Q: Thank you for answering my first question so quickly and for your suggestion. Very professional. I have one more question. Will this ammo also work well in a PSA AR-V 16" 9MM 1/10 LIGHTWEIGHT Rifle and could there be overpenetration concerns?

Posted On: 12/12/2020 By: Reinold Walser

A: It's my great pleasure to talk about ammo sir! I expect this ammo should function correctly in that rifle. Its barrel twist is certainly adequate to stabilize so lightweight a projectile. Naturally a rifle's longer barrel will impart greater muzzle velocity to a 9mm cartridge than a pistol's. It is impossible to calculate how much faster than 1,312 fps this round's bullet should become – that can only be recorded with a chronograph. I would never guarantee overpenetration can't happen, but I do believe it's less of a concern with this ammo even taking into account its boosted muzzle velocity. It is lightweight at 108 grains, and therefore shouldn't have relatively great momentum. It also expands very wide into the shape of a four pointed star, which ought to effectively anchor the bullet within the soft tissue it has penetrated. (Here you can see an MHP bullet fully expanded: https://ibb.co/GR3xrXK.)

Q: Will this ammo work well in a old S&W model 59 and a CZ 2075 RAMI BD?

Posted On: 12/12/2020 By: Reinold A Walser

A: Hello Reinold! There is no reason this ammo shouldn't function correctly in either of those two handguns, which are both chambered for 9mm. I'm just very slightly concerned that the Model 59 might not like it for some reason I cannot predict. I'd rather recommend the Sierra Outdoor Master ammo to you: luckygunner.com/9mm-124-grain-jhp-sierra-outdoor-master-20-rounds. It too is good ammo for self-defense, and Sierra is very high quality. This ammo is also more like the 9mm that would have been produced when the Model 59 was also in production. Again, the Norma ammo will almost certainly work fine in the 59, but I'd rather recommend the ammo I suspect will perform better for you.

Q: Will these work in a Hellcat?

Posted On: 12/11/2020 By: Pete

A: Yes sir, ths ammo is a good choice for self-defense with a Hellcat.

Q: Will these work for a glock 19?

Posted On: 12/10/2020 By: Chalkydah

A: Yes sir, this ammo should make a good choice for self-defense with a G19.

Q: Description says brass casing and SCHP, but colors in images look like neither brass nor copper. What are those coated with? Also further info states made in Hungary but Q&A above says made in Sweden. Which is correct?

Posted On: 12/7/2020 By: Art in CT

A: Let's see. Norma does indeed make most of their ammo in Sweden, but in the case of this specific ammo it is indeed manufactured in Sirok, Hungary. We were mistaken earier. Thanks for catching that! The cases are brass; they are black-oxide coated to reduce friction during feeding and extraction. The bullets are plated with what I believe to be nickel, but they are pure copper underneath. You can see the NRA's photo of an expanded MHP bullet revealing its monolithic composition here: shootingillustrated.com/articles/2019/8/8/review-norma-mhp-defensive-handgun-ammo/

Q: Will this work with m & p shield?

Posted On: 12/4/2020 By: Earl Goff

A: Hello Earl! It's certainly supposed to, but in practice this ammo may be a little too long for your M&P Shield's magazine to reliably feed. You might not have the that problem, but I wouldn't like for you to find out the hard way. I believe the ammo from Underwood and Speer that we have in stock is less likely to cause a failure to feed in your shield. They're both +P, but your handgun can handle the extra chamber pressure.

Q: Do these work well in glock 48

Posted On: 9/9/2020 By: Michael needling

A: Yes sir, this ammo should treat your G48 quite nicely!
