This 9mm +P ammunition by Federal is something special. We wouldn’t recommend it for self-defense – unless the threat in question happens to be a bear, boar, or other large aggressive animal. That’s because its bullet is designed to penetrate extra deep without expanding!

This round’s 147 grain bullet has an unusually hard core, made of solid lead which is fortified with a whole lot of antimony. Unlike the typical hard cast bullet you might find on a revolver round, Federal’s bullet is completely jacketed in Syntech polymer. This ensures smooth feeding, eliminates lead fouling within the bore, extends a barrel’s lifespan by drastically reducing friction, and does away with the need for a gas check or wax ring.

So heavy a bullet becomes extremely powerful when loaded to a muzzle velocity of 1,120 fps out of a conventional handgun’s 4” barrel. At point blank range it plows into its target with around 400 ft lbs of energy. At 100 yards it still overpowers with well over 300 ft lbs of energy!

Federal plates this ammo’s brass cases with nickel for even smoother feeding and improved resistance to corrosion. Most modern 9mm handguns can run +P ammo no problem, including those made by Glock, SIG Sauer, S&W, Kimber, Taurus and Springfield. Overpressure ammo like this isn’t ideal for high volume range training because it accelerates wear on a semi-auto’s moving parts, but for self-defense that’s not a problem. Please drop us a Q&A if you’d like to make sure your firearm is rated for +P!

Q: For Ruger PC Carbine?

Posted On: 6/16/2023 By: Terrance

A: Thanks for reaching out Terrance! Page 22 of the Ruger PC Carbine manual states: "The RUGER® PC CARBINE™, chambered in 9mm Luger, is designed to properly function with only factory loaded 9mm Luger (Parabellum) standard, high velocity, or +P ammunition, manufactured to U.S. industry standards." That means its designed to safely fire this ammo. (Manual link: https://ruger-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/_manuals/PC-Carbine.pdf)

Q: I have a Ruger EC9S is it safe to shoot the 9mm +P 147 gr Federal solid core out of it?

Posted On: 8/26/2021 By: Matthew Osborne

A: Yes sir, the Ruger EC9s is designed to safely fire 9mm +P ammunition as well. This ammo won't damage your firearm, but it will wear out its moving parts at an accelerated pace. As such I'd only advise minimal training with it, and reserving the rest for personal protection.

Q: Can 9mm - +P 147 Grain Syntech Jacketed Hard Cast - Federal Solid Core be used in pistols with other than conventional rifling? I am thinking of Glocks and Walther PPQs?

Posted On: 3/15/2021 By: Mario Chiesa

A: Thanks for reaching out Mario! This ammo should work just fine in firearms with polygonal rifling rifling as well.
