The Underwood Defensive 9mm Luger 68gr Solid Copper load (Underwood part no. 873) is new production ammunition built around a lightweight, monolithic copper bullet rather than a traditional expanding hollow point. Machined entirely from copper with no lead content, the 68-grain bullet is unusually light for 9mm, which lets Underwood drive it to a supersonic 1700 fps for 436 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Loaded in non-corrosive, boxer-primed, reloadable nickel-plated brass cases, this is a straightforward option among handgun ammunition for shooters who want a lead-free, high-velocity 9mm load.
