Federal's Hi-Shok 9mm 115 grain JHP (9BP) ammo is considered part of Federal's Classic line of ammo. This self-defense round used to be a main stay in law-enforcement circles and is today probably considered a "gen 1" load by many but is still in use by some police departments. While newer loads like Federal HST ammo have surpassed it in technological innovation, this load is still well-regarded for its consistent feeding and cycling while available at a great price point for self-defense ammo from a name you can trust.
This ammo is widely used by shooters who want to train with what they carry and get lots of reps in. This jacket hollow point bullet is designed to expand on impact creating a larger permanent wound cavity helping to ensure that you're able to protect you and yours should the unthinkable ever happen. This product is made by Federal ammunition in Anoka, Minnesota and is boxer-primed, reloadable, non-corrosive, and will not attract a magnet.

Q: What grain do you recommend for self defense? Does it make a big difference?
Posted On: 10/21/2011 By: Dan
A: Yes, the higher projectile weights tend to offer more penetration and expansion. However, this is still affordable and acceptable ammunition for self defense.
