Syntech® changed the range forever, and now its technology is revolutionizing protection as well. The 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. This innovative design ensures that the core penetrates 12 to 18 inches through bare ballistics gel and heavy clothing, a critical benchmark in self-defense situations. It offers the best terminal performance of any round in its class.

The petals of the bullet create three secondary wound channels, each more than 6 inches deep, significantly enhancing the terminal effect. Like all Syntech loads, the advanced polymer jacket eliminates lead and copper fouling and drastically reduces damaging heat and friction in the barrel. This means less wear on your firearm and more consistent performance over time.

The Federal® exclusive Catalyst™ primer provides hot, extremely reliable ignition without the use of lead, ensuring that Syntech Defense™ rounds are both effective and environmentally friendly. With these features combined, Syntech Defense™ offers unmatched performance for self-defense scenarios. The Syntech Defense™ ammunition is available in 9mm Luger caliber with a grain weight of 138, a muzzle velocity of 1050, and is tested with a 4-inch barrel length. Each package contains 50 rounds, making it an ideal choice for those serious about self-defense.
