Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense 9mm Luger ammunition (brand part no. LA9-90-XD-C) loads a 90-grain Fluid Transfer Monolithic (FTM) bullet, a solid copper projectile that does not expand or fragment at all. Instead of relying on a hollow cavity to mushroom, the fluted nose redirects fluid outward as the bullet drives forward, using fluid dynamics rather than deformation to carve a wide, permanent wound channel through soft tissue. Because the bullet stays rigid and does not lose mass, it holds its weight and penetrates consistently even through denim, drywall, and other barriers that can clog and choke off a conventional hollow point. For 9mm shooters who want a defensive load that performs the same through barriers as it does bare, this handgun ammunition from Lehigh Defense is built for exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this bullet expand like a hollow point? No, the FTM design is solid copper and stays rigid; it uses fluid dynamics through a fluted nose to carve a wound channel instead of mushrooming.
Does barrier material affect performance? Minimally; because the bullet does not rely on expansion, it performs consistently whether it strikes bare tissue or passes through denim or drywall first.
Is this a hunting or defensive round? A defensive round, built and marketed by Lehigh Defense specifically for home-defense use.
