Federal Hydra-Shok ammunition (brand part no. FED P9HS2) chambers the 9mm Luger with a 147-grain jacketed hollow point, one of the most established defensive bullet designs in the industry. Hydra-Shok’s signature center post inside the hollow point cavity controls the rate of expansion, helping the bullet mushroom reliably even after passing through denim or other light barriers. Law enforcement agencies carried this design for decades, and it remains a proven, trusted option for personal defense. Each box holds 20 rounds of this classic defensive load.
