Syntech changed the range forever. Now the technology is revolutionizing protection as well. All-new Syntech Defense provides dynamic terminal performance with a hollow-point bullet that separates into three segments and a deep-penetrating core on impact. The core penetrates 12 to 18 inches through bare ballistics gel and heavy clothinga critical benchmark in self-defense situations and the best terminal performance of any round in its class. The petals create three secondary wound channels, each more than 6 inches deep, adding to the terminal effect. Like all Syntech loads, an advanced polymer jacket eliminates lead and copper fouling and drastically reduces damaging heat and friction in the barrel. Its Federal exclusive Catalyst primer provides hot, extremely reliable ignition without the use of lead.

We all know this 9 mm ammo is extremely hard to find. I looked all over town, online etc but opticplanwt had it! and it shipoed and received rather quickly! would do again! Now let's hope more comes available and the pricing drops more

This seems like a great self defense round. Haven’t shot it but like the videos I’ve seen. Bullet separates into three pieces on impact and spread out causing more internal damage. Hopefully I don’t have to use, but should be effective

Great ammo at a good price, Syntech technology with hollow point makes a great bullet at a good cost. With its 3 types of separation and its ballistic testing performance makes this a great bullet for protection. Syntech reduces friction and therefore runs with less heat, and I like the new materials and how it reacts on contact. Definitely recommend to try.

They are good bullets but out of the 20 that I got only 19 are good because one has a light hammer stripe and got put into my Box and sold to me with 19 good bullets and 1 dud now it could have been an accident But I hate all the middleman I'll keep planned at once to know it took longer than ever to get these Bullets and also to open the 1st Box And see the 1st bullet with the light primer strike so went to my brother and my dad and I'm the bullet said what does it look light that's 3 men born and raised with guns all looked at it set a light primer said no brand new out the Box they said no that thing's been attempted to be shot So how do I suppose to use that as self defense just put it in and hope it shoots for me but it wouldn't shoot for you

Ok I was skeptical at first because ive never been a fan of a round that loses weight because normally that means loss of penetration. However Federal is the first that im aware of to make the projectile weigh more than what you normally see on the market. The fact that this round weighs 138 grains and not 115 grains or less i believe is what makes this round stand out from the others. The 1 con i have found is this stuff WILL NOT work reliably in a short barrel pistol. I tried it in my Canik TP9SF Elite (4.2in barrel) and it worked likenit was supposed to. Then i tried it in my Springfield Armory XD Mod 2 Subcompact (3in barrel) and it became a FMJ basically. So speed is definitely a factor and it being heavier you need more speed than the others of the same type on the market. A YouTube reviewerbis who got me to give it a go because he claimed he was dropping full sized Feral Hogs with 1 shot and i believe him. This stuff will make a threat have an awful day. Not only is there a 100+ grain base of the bullet deep in the target but there is also going to be 3-4 decent sized fragments or petals in the target aswell. I fully believe if you are skeptical about thiw ammo if you gave it a try you would be a believer like me. I havent tested it through any kind of barrier except some clothing so im not sure how it would hold up against something like a windshield or wall or something of that nature but it does say Syntech Defense not Syntech Offense and in my book if I'm shooting through a windshield or a wall I'm no longer playing defense im playing offense. I do wish they used nickle played brass. I wish more manufacturer's would start making ammo in the 135-138 grain weight for 9mm.

These are literally half the cost of Liberty Civil Defense. Multiple wound tracks with better penetration, we have a winner!!!
