The engineers at Federal have a tremendous amount of experience when it comes to building good defensive handgun ammunition, and they realized that civilians don’t necessarily need FBI duty ammunition. It’s possible that a civilian might need to shoot through steel, plywood, wallboard and automotive safety glass in order to save their life-but it’s not likely. Not only is the conduct of the extensive testing expensive, but so, too, is the engineering and building of the bullets that’ll perform well in them. However, building bullets to meet this standard is expensive. And, as law enforcement agencies adopt loads based on their performance in this test, so too do civilians the general population likes to be equipped as well as the cops. This testing protocol has driven the manufacture of defensive handgun ammunition for the last 30 years, and manufacturers have become really good at building bullets to meet the FBI standard. 45 Auto self-defense load can pack-pardon the pun-quite a punch. Paired with a compact 1911 like the Remington R1 Ultralight Executive, the new. The best performing bullets in this test tend to expand to 1.5 times their original diameter and penetrate to between 12 and 18 inches, regardless of the intermediate barrier. This test assesses a bullet’s ability to inflict an effective wound after defeating various intervening obstacles commonly present in law enforcement shootings, like steel, plywood, wallboard and automotive safety glass. Most of the really good defensive handgun loads on the market have one thing in common-they were designed to perform well in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s testing protocol. Through this barrier, the ammunition provided adequate expansion and penetration.It's engineered to perform exceptionally well through heavy clothing.Given the testing and engineering to meet these standards are cut out, the ammunition cost considerably less.Ammunition is not designed to meet FBI barrier standards.How Does Punch Differ From Other Defensive Ammunition: Please review the Rogers Sporting Goods Ammunition Sales Policies and Regulations.Designed specifically for civilian defensive shooters, Federal Punch cuts costs of defensive ammo, but not at the expense of performance. Prior to ordering ammunition online, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with current regulations in your state. As the consumer, it is important for you to be aware of federal, state, and local regulations regarding the online purchasing of ammunition. Laws regarding the sale of ammunition are constantly evolving. Bullet nose profile, nickel-plated case and high-performance primer provide the ultimate in function and reliability in semi-automatic handguns.Superior performance in FBI test protocol used by law enforcement officials to assess and select duty ammunition.Expanded diameter and weight retention produce the desired penetration for personal defense situations without over penetrating.Specially designed hollow point expands reliably through a variety of barriers.Its specially designed hollow point won't plug while passing through a variety of barriers, and the bullet jacket and core hold together to provide nearly 100 percent weight retention through even the toughest materials.

That's why it's already the duty load of choice for law enforcement officers throughout the world. Effective self-defense requires ammunition that provides consistent expansion, optimum penetration and superior terminal performance.
