Federal HST Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) 180 Grain 40 Smith & Wesson Ammo - 20 Rounds

For almost three decades, the .40 Smith & Wesson was the primary law enforcement sidearm caliber in the US. Adopted and prized for delivering potent ballistic performance, its recoil remained a – mostly undeserved - primary concern for a lot of shooters who were sensitive to such a characteristic. To many others, however, the trade off for considerably effective terminal performance was more than acceptable: the cartridge remains a favorite for both recreational and defensive shooters today. The heavier (180 grain) bullet generally has the same performances of the hotter and similarly weighted .45 ACP, but shooters prefer it for the additional capacity out of standard sized magazines. This 180 grain hollow point bullet by Federal has a muzzle velocity of 1010 feet per second with 48 foot pounds of energy. This is a premium, literally, personal defense cartridge.
